   Test the sites you rely on

   Do this

   Open one site you sign in to, play a short video, and go to a shop's checkout page without paying. Reload each once.

   You should see

   Sign-in, playback and the checkout page work as before.

   Undo or troubleshoot

   If one site breaks, undo only the last change you made, or add an exception for that one site. Do not switch off all protection, and do not clear all cookies by default — that signs you out everywhere.
