Incredible.

NO Option to use this in a Black List Mode. By default this blocks every popup on most websites, this gets to be a real pain when you have to constantly add safe websites like ebay.com to a White List. This would be a much better add-on if you could use it in a Black List mode and only add those badly behaving websites to a Black List.
