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 uMatrix, but stopped when @gorhill stopped recommending its use. The way I figure, if I’m gonna trust the guy, then I’m gonna trust the guy.

      Around 2020 I asked for advice, about something better than Adblock Plus and everybody said ublock, everybody.
