uMatrix gives you a drop down that shows a grid showing css, scripts, media, cookies, images,frames, XHR, other. Blocked by default you allow what you want.
I'm still figuring it out but it's more granular than merely off or on.
- purerandomness 7y agoIsn't that uBlock's advanced mode? (Settings->'I am an advanced user')?
- kd913 7y agoThe developer himself states it's better to use that than in combo with umatrix. https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/706xrr/umatrix_vs_ublock_origin_medium_blocking_mode/dn1goxr/ https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/706xrr/umatrix_vs_...
- Jaruzel 7y agoDoesn't uBlock's filter-picker-eyedrop-thing do more or less the same thing?
- leppr 7y agoThat's just a visual filter (DOM level). uMatrix and uBlock lists block network requests.
- bananamerica 7y agouMatrix is quite labor intensive.
- DavideNL 7y agoI was surprised how many websites actually work without changing anything... (and loading a lot faster without all the javascript bloat.) Once you understand how uMatrix works, it's 1 click to temporarily whitelist a site, which i hardly ever use while browsing the web/reading articles. Note that I do 'online shopping/purchases' in another browser, though.
- ivanche 7y agoOnly in the beginning. After a week or two, you'd probably visit every site you visit regularly anyway and you'd have set all you need in uMatrix. Additional bonus is that all cookies, scripts, ajax requests etc. from Facebook, Twitter, Google, Instagram, Disqus and God knows what else are blocked for good on all sites I ever visit!
