uMatrix is a lifesaver ... I enable only css, images and media for 1st party sites, everything else is disabled by default. Have not seen an ad in years.

- account-5 3y agoIsn't uMatrix abandoned? No longer developed? I used to use it but now use uBlock Origin in advanced mode. I'd switch back immediately if it was actively developed again.
- Semaphor 3y agoIt’s not, sadly. But it still works, and the interface is still far superior to uBlock on Desktop. So I, and many others, use it as is, together with uBlock. There was actually a short time it broke, which was when the repo was unarchived, fixed, and archived again, so while there’s no new development, there’s at least a chance it might not break.
- account-5 3y agoI'm definitely loath to use something that's not been updated in that long considering the speed of change in web development. How do you know it's not missing some stuff? I agree the interface is much superior to the advanced ublock interface. Much more granular control. I do wish it was getting developed still or unlocked interface updated to uMatrix style.
- Semaphor 3y ago> I'm definitely loath to use something that's not been updated in that long considering the speed of change in web development. I mean, all you are missing out on, is even finer granularity. Details don’t matter, you got the basic blocks: cookies, css, images, other media, script, XHR, frames, and "other" aka everything else. Those don’t change, the "other" category will simply very slowly grow over time.
- account-5 3y agoI can remember hoping, thinking someone would definitely take over development :(
