Useless extension with fake protection. The disclaimer states: "Due to the nature of this extension, this will break most sites! It is designed to learn over time with sites that you allow." Of course, you don't know what sites to allow. That's why you would like this extension to protect you from malicious sites. If you simply have to turn if off each time you visit a site it's useless. Just opening any website is impossible without turning off this extension. We need an extension which protects you and allows you to visit safe websites without having to turn off this extension.
