A user has reported a conflict with the !SimilarWeb extension. I've tested !SimilarWeb 1.2.06 and have seen the following blocked requests:

When the panel is opened.
From: http://www.similarweb.com/welcome.aspx?g=[removed]&subid=ml
To: http://www.similarsites.com/similarweb/welcome.aspx

Clicking the !SimilarSites logo available from the toolbar button.
From: http://api2.similarsites.com/related?s=626&md=7&removePB=1&subid=ml&q=about%3Ablank
To: http://www.similarsites.com/

There's no direct way to whitelist these, the user would have to notice they are blocked and whitelist them manually. I'll add extension compatibility rules for this extension in a future release.
