Make intent classification optional

[pjalet]

The assessment of whether an intent is “productive” or not can backfire. Sometimes when my intent is clear (and, in my mind, productive) it takes me five attempts or more to get through. This is so infuriating that I have ended up on several occasions disabling the extension, which is clearly not how it should work.

As a user what I need is a prompt to ensure I have a clear, specific intention when visiting a website, and some time pressure to make me stick to this intention. I am the best judge of the value of that intention. So for me, verifying that the intention has not been used in the past 10 or 20 visits is good enough, and I don’t need the additional validation step. What about making it optional?
