- throwaway81523 4y agoThat would be up to the blog operator, I'd expect. I've never seen any value to even legitimate pingbacks, so if I used a blog that had them, I'd disable them altogether.
- robonerd 4y agoUse umatrix in whitelist mode. By default, I only load first party html, images, and CSS.
- TheChaplain 4y agoIsn't umatrix deprecated?
- robonerd 4y agoStill works.
- amenod 4y agoUnfortunately, yes. But it still works and rocks. uBlock Origin has kind-of-similar (but not quite) functionality where you can block by domains, but it is not as granular (it is called "Advanced" something IIRC).
- Arnavion 4y agoIt is equally granular. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26284124 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26284124
- stjohnswarts 4y agoYeah, the only similar replacement I know of is noscript. For me ublock origin + cookie autodelete + firefox strict mode is the 90% fix for now. Mostly set and forget without the maintenance of umatric and noscript. Tho, I am kind of surprised no one has forked umatrix and continued developing it
