User reviews
Why don't keep a uri list of when this handy addin is activated or not so that it auto-activate next time when requested?
it's often difficult to remember whether a specific site requires to enable strict popup block or not. Especially when I want to avoid the opening of ads sites, adwares, malwares and crypto-mining sites without consent.
