I hate to say it but most people would stay away from messy sites
Yep.
The list of third party javascript requests for "realclearscience" (lol, that name does not instil confidence) is so tall that I was frightened to open it even in TOR browser...
"cracked.com" doesn't sound much better, but I didn't try it - that was enough for one day.

Whitelisted sites are allowed to load scripts/iframes/plugins from source locations when they are referenced on a web page.
You can change what is in the lists here or through the extension's page action button. Some top web sites are preloaded. For example, to whitelist http://www.google.com, you enter
google.com
which also whitelists google.com, maps.google.com, books.google.com, etc...
