In short, it allows for much more granular controls over what does and does-not load from any given domain. By default, it breaks a lot of websites. But with about 30 seconds of work, you will generate a policy for the domain, you hit save, and then that domain will be unbroken on every subsequent load. I find it useful as a noscript replacement.

- M_Grey 10y agouMatrix is just the perfect union of script controls and ad blocking, and honestly even without knowledge the point-and-click interface would probably be very forgiving.
