User reviews

Perhaps I'm using this extension incorrectly, but it seems that you have to turn on this extension each time you open the browser, which defeats the whole point of me having this extension, which is to prevent me from getting distracted. Am I being stupid and there is a setting somewhere for this to be permanently enabled?
