Needs a whitelisting option. Have to click YouTube videos multiple times to get them to play.

WHITELIST permanently option needed. Does the job otherwise.

could do with a one click on/off button which would have immediate effect. This way it's a lot of work to turn it on/off. Lots of clicks and then having to reload the tab.
