What do you mean umatrix is dead? I'm using it now, and it's IMO hands down *the absolute best extension I have ever used*. uMatrix >> (uBO | noScript | privacy badger | cookie ninja | cookie autodelete | etc) I use all of them along with vimium-ff and midnightlizard, but uMatrix is by far the best idea for managing what is run for better privacy and performance of browsing.

I use it daily too and it's on my list of essential plugins, but gorhill archived the repo and development has halted as best as I can tell [0] which leads to complications [1].

AFAIK uMatrix creator made uBlock origin. He hasn't worked on uMatrix for a while now. That's just something for you to look into.

I am also still using it and haven't run into any issues so far. But it is unmaintained for quite some time now last I checked so I assume that eventually it will just stop working. It's quite nice though. I have it set to disable any and all third party resources by default and from there it's generally fairly easy to permit the necessary things the first time I visit a site. And if it proves to be difficult I generally just decline to use that website at all.

  As long as firefox maintains the API it should work just fine. But the day the don't a lot of people will be unhappy. I always figured some bored javascript wizard would eventually pick it up since gorhill archived it, but I don't think anyone has

    I so wish umatrix maintenance was restarted. Hopefully someone capable will. I'd donate money to that effort. While ublock origin is nice, umatrix is so much better.

      What improvements do you think should be made to it?
