Is this shit worth the trouble of using?
Is this shit worth the trouble of using?

if you have to ask then no
Jack Miller
Not even Gorhill uses it anymore. Just use uBlock Origin in medium mode.
Jason Williams
No, only if you want full control of what gets loaded on a site. uMatrix would have been useful back in the days where Jow Forums wouldhave background music and other annoying shit. uBlock has something similar in advance mode that allows blocking scripts.
It is useful when adblock killer doesn't work, but that's about it.
Tyler Bailey
what's medium mode?
I've used ublock since before he had the mental breakdown and forked it, I've never seen medium mode
out of the box blocks like every ad I've ever seen
All I do is:
Prevent WebRTC from leaking local IP addresses Block CSP reports
Ayden Mitchell
anyone else use git.synz.io
Gavin Robinson
uMatrix basically negates the need for an ad-blocker as it gives you full control over pretty much everything.

yeah, it's not that common to break a site like with NoScript
after a month, you'd rarely touch it

Pain in the ass to use. Some sites don't even appear in the list for you to enable at first so even if you just want to quickly make a site work you have to enable everything > refresh > check the list again > enable new stuff that appears > refresh > repeat 2-3 times until you get everything or site works
Even then this shit has some ""security"" feature that still continues breaking sites even after you completely enable everything in the grid and it shows all green.
Isaac Martin
I always worry if it will fuck up my internet transaction.
Juan Sanders
anyone else doing Ublock + No-script in firefox?
no-script is what im used and have settings changed for 2-3 years of use
Asher Long
I still don't understand what umatrix does.
Is it just reskin of NoScript?
Aaron Anderson
true. occasionally i'll get ones where the site doesn't work even though everything's unblocked. pretty sure this is the case when downloading Nvidia drivers from geforce.com.
it's good for inducing paranoia and for showing just how fucked up Web actually is. A red vs blue pill kinda thing. The extent of Google's reach is definitely scary, but most people choose to remain blissfully ignorant, and I understand.
once you get the main sites whitelisted along with some global whitelists for things like card payments, you should be more or less fine.
Easton Baker
Dunno, but I still use it
Juan Morris
All it does is break sites and it's cumbersome to use. There are other applications out there that block trackers and shit far more efficiently.
Julian Brown
I'd still prefer an adblocker in a pinch, but uBlock (+ user script to defuse Jow Forums ads, only on Firefox though) still works decently well here.
>global whitelists
Oh, neat. I just realized what the star was for.

NoScript is just easier to use, if you're not full paranoia you can go with Privacy Badger too, used to use uMatrix but sometimes you spend more time configuring it than browsing the web, and a lot of times happened to me that the sites I configured didn't even load despite It had scripts enabled on it.

????????
Carter Robinson
do you even know what uMatrix does?
Adam Turner
At a glance it looks like uBlock Origin with some more detailed options, and the ad-block lists diked out.
Hudson Fisher
idk, do you?
Landon Wood
yes
Jacob Baker
same
Benjamin Morris
So how to use the advance mode?
I mean, when enabled there is two columns, what does each do?
Evan Smith
2. Global rules
1. Local rules
Red block
Green force allow
Grey no-op
Landon Morales
the left one blocks or accepts globally. the right one blocks or accepts locally.
that means you can have some domain globally blocked, but when you are in a specific site, it wil be accepted. (red on the left and at the same time green on the right.)
Dylan Hughes
So I enabled it and after disabling it, the site menu doesn't go away.
Is this a bug?
Or does this mean that enabling the advance mode disable some of the easy mode features?
Carter Phillips
it's fine if the only sites you visit are text-based. But if you stream (especially from shadier sites that load a lot of 3rd party resources) it's not worth the trouble
Jaxson Morris
oh, so uMatrix features have pretty much been integrated into uBlock. nice. can i import my existing uMatrix rules into it?
Nathan Lee
>uMatrix features have pretty much been integrated into uBlock
uMatrix stole it from uBlock
Ryan Gomez
Yes, it's practically an antivirus and adblocker
Michael Rivera
It gives you real control, you can choose which parts of the page code run
Daniel Mitchell
wat
i thought uBlock and uMatrix were made by the same guy and uMatrix is being deprecated. why would uMatrix exist at all if uBlock had this feature all along?
William Mitchell
Post umatrix hell.
Camden Johnson
>Script allowed
>Cookies allowed
Austin Jackson
now this is autism
Charles Richardson
>before he had the mental breakdown
Is that why he forked it? Bummer
Daniel Long
Not all features have been implemented into uO (yet)
Jackson Jones
you're quoting something from 3 years ago and are responding to a comment that has nothing to do with what you're saying.
Jace Young
Its true not all features of umatrix in ublock origin though
Adam Rodriguez
Good threada. I disabled uMatrix and will be using uBlock instead, those manual cells gambling shenanigans is ticking tiresome, my dudes, I only need security not obscurity of private shit, fuck it.

>Enabling 1st-party JS by default
Nolan Martin
maybe in the fact that websites feel the need to do this shit
