uMatrix: Point and click matrix to filter net requests according to source, destination and type - gorhill/uMatrix

I used to have uMatrix runing on my browser. It basically works like a firewall, preventing cookies, scripts and other stuff running on your browser without your consent.

It gives you much more control than uBlock, but it is also known for breaking websites if you don’t set what you allow the browser to run properly. I remember it being quite tedious, as I had to go through the process of setting those things properly on each new website I was visiting.

Maybe some of you use it already, and would like to share the experience. Maybe others didn’t know about it and would like to give it a try. Either way, I don’t hear that many peopl talking about this tool, so I thought of sharing it here.

Have a wonderful day!

    I used to use it but I gave up on it earlier this year. Honestly I don’t miss every website being broken and having to reload a website a dozen times just to get checkout and payment working.
    Also iFrames just never worked. They remained blocked despite explicitly allowing them (which was prolly because the ext was unmaintained so long).
    Not being able to block JS and Cookies on a domain level is a bit of a bummer but all in all I’d consider it an upgrade.
