Site blocker causes fraidycat to stop updating #223

Describe the bug

Running a site blocker on some subscribed sites causes fraidycat to permanently stop updating all sites.

I use a site blocker (SelfControl.app) to block distracting sites during working hours. The blocker does some kind of networking magic to render sites unaddressable. Some of the sites that I subscribe to in fraidycat are included in the blocklist.

I've found that if I leave a tab up with fraidycat running while the site blocker is active, fraidycat remains unable to update any sites after the blocker deactivates. It simply stops updating altogether, and I haven't found a way to get it to start updating again. Refreshing doesn't help.

The only recourse I've found is to export settings, uninstall and reinstall the extension, and import the settings.

I've not tried restarting the browser.

Thanks, btw, for this great extension. :)
