Krångligt! Vet inte ens hur jag ska aktivera något som jag trodde redan var aktiverat...

So so add-on, does it really prevent anything? Most of the time it blocks sites because it thinks it has anything to do with banking etc. But most anoying aspect is the constant popups for every webpage you open. You can't even turn it off or make it less intrusive.
