Why did Lightbeam discard my 100+ blocked site list? I don't want to go to the trouble of blocking sites again if LB is just going to discard them again.

Over a period of about 3 weeks, I researched and blocked over 100 sites with LightBeam. Webpages loaded faster and far fewer tracking cookies were created by marketing/advertising sites. I exported/saved my work in a lightbeamData.json file. Then Lightbeam discarded all my blocked sites and I'm back at the beginning, because I don't see a way to restore/import the saved lightbeamData.json file. But I'm not foolish enough to go through weeks of blocking sites again, if Lightbeam is just going to throw away my hard work.

Are you sure it was Lightbeam? Contact it's support.

I'll be happy to, if someone will tell me who supports it and how to contact them. This forum is the closest I found to an entity which might support LB.
