Need to offer encrypting of whitelist

Need to offer encrypting of whitelist, so that users are less worried using Google syncing features.

This looks useful: https://github.com/bitwiseshiftleft/sjcl/blob/master/demo/example.js

On top of that, the ability to prevent an opportunistic attacker (AKA your idiot friend, snooping significant other, etc) from simply walking up to the extension and viewing all of the sites you've whitelisted - because the permanent whitelist will persist even when used on an incognito mode page.

Just found out there is this option in Chromium:

"Encrypt all synced data with your own sync passphrase: Select this if you'd like to encrypt all the data you've chosen to sync. You can provide your own passphrase that will only be stored on your computer"

This means I wouldn't need to do anything other than pointing out this feature to the user.
