Not all do. uMatrix comes with a whitelist-based approach, so all 3rd party requests (modulo images and CSS if you so choose) are blocked and need to be whitelisted to unbreak sites.
- mickael-kerjean 9y agoI had quite a bit of those popular "privacy extensions" in the test bench: DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, Stealth mode and none of them were blocking things as I'd have expected. Thank you for proposing uMatrix it just pass the cookie test none of the above succeed, I might have found my new internet condom.
- x0x 9y agoYou can also try "Inox Browser"[1] based on Chromium but with security/privacy patches. With extensions like "uBlock0 (Origin)"[2], "uMatrix"[3].
