Can someone ELI5 the pros and cons of using uBlock Origin and/or uMatrix?
Should I be using one, either, both? Are they competitors or complementary? What does each do best?
- noisem4ker 6y agouMatrix is unmaintained and most of its functionality is supposed to be available in uBlock Origin in advanced mode.
- DannyB2 6y agouMatrix provides fine grained control in a matrix by domain names (rows) vs various permissions to grant (columns). Example: Allow domain foo.com to run scripts, but domain bar.com cannot run script, no cookies, but css and images are okay.
- redis_mlc 6y agoIf you're on a Mac, using Firefox with uBlock Origin is a realy nice experience: - no ads on Youtube - I prefer the Firefox dev tools over Chrome for vanilla-js. FYI: I'm one of the earliest and longest-term users of Firefox, starting at Netscape in 2000. Never had a reason to switch.
