We could perhaps add some more obvious instructions to enable it if it's a
usability problem.

have explicit interaction of installing the extension.
I think so too. The way I see it, installing the extension is opting in
(equivalent to setting a cookie on the web page), and the on/off toggle is
for the convenience of not having to dig into the browser's extension
settings if you want to disable it temporarily.
