 > 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.

 Ok, we can say this:
 {{{
 You haven't added any bridges. Do you want to add one?
 WARNING: If you click "No" the option "My ISP blocks..." will be disabled
 Yes|No

 Yes: displays the settings.
 No: disables "My ISP ..." and saves everything.
 }}}

 > 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.

 It's a matter of how the question was phrased. But I agree that for the
 rushed user that just clicks without reading it will be a safer option to
 make "Yes" return to the settings panel.
