Daniel (ID: 000000973b0d9aa6) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/15/2021 Automatically closes the page if I choose not to go there. Also stopped me from accessing Microsoft's forum websites. DIdn't even allow me to access them. Removed.

Снежана Горожанкина (ID: 000000153204fdf4) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 06/09/2017 Please. Add a working whitelist. Also, addon opens too many "do you want to proceed" windows, while there are no redirects but just inserted third-party dirt.
