Comment(by erinn):

 Okay, this is better, but we're not quite there yet.

 1. The wording is extremely confusing. When you check "My ISP blocks
 [...]" and try to save it without adding any bridges, a pop-up comes up
 saying: ''You haven't added any bridges, this will disable "My ISP blocks
 connections to the Tor network." Do you really want to do this? Yes / No''

 I'm not entirely sure what this means. Does the user really have an option
 here? If not, why provide them the option of saying "Yes"? Should they
 have the option to save this setting without configuring any bridges? If
 not, the pop-up should say something like (and I recommend not taking this
 verbatim): ''You haven't added any bridges so this setting will not be
 saved.'' Then return them to the UI, with the box unchecked.

 I am no UI expert, obviously, so I would appreciate if someone else could
 offer advice about this!

 2. If you say "Yes" to the above question, it kicks you out of the
 settings entirely. If it's agreed that this should be a yes/no question,
 saying "Yes" should return you to the settings UI just like "No" does.
