make sure popup blocking is on and the site isn't whitelisted.

click on the link for the insight browser

one gets an error.

there isn't an easy way to add that site to the whitelist.

it would be easier to have a button in the 'Edit allowed sites...' dialog to add
the frontmost window domain.

Generally it's very easy to add the current site to the whitelist using the
pop-up blocker icon that shows up in the lower left. That site does a redirect
though, which clears the pop-up block icon. You can still add it relatively
easily from the edit allowed sites just by typing.

We definitely don't want to add another widget for the presumably rare case of
being on a site with such a setup. We should either:
- WONTFIX
or
- probably better: prefill (and select) the 'add site' field with the url of the
current browser window. Users who don't want it can just start typing, and those
who do can hit add right away, giving us the best of both worlds.
