This can be a computed setting (will slightly break when more categories from new extensions are added, though)

> Source/WebCore/inspector/front-end/AuditLauncherView.js:268

Could you clean up the persisted list of categories to remove junk (e.g. leftover categories from disabled/removed extensions) here?

Yep -- keeping all categories explicitly in the state we display to the user simplifies things a lot, given that categories come and go dynamically.

Fixed -- now remove categories that are not present each time we update state due to a user action.

Looks good audits-wise. I'd like to hear an authoritative opinion on whether this kind of setting initialization is valid.

I'm not sure if this is the right way to initialize a setting (outside Settings.js) - need advice from someone who knows the settings handling well enough.
