- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13444507, 7 years agoThanks Mozilla for breaking NoScript. Wouldn't have found uMatrix without it. With NoScript, I essentially had to reload pages to Chrome to get 'em to work. Now I can SEE what exactly is going on and give permissions as I need to.
I'm using block all / exceptions. https://github.com/gorhill/httpswitchboard/wiki/How-to-use-HTTP-Switchboard:-Two-opposing-views is definitely required reading. - Rated 5 out of 5by Roberto, 7 years agoAddon poderoso que bloqueia solicitações de conexões indesejadas, conforme o próprio desenvolvedor, é para usuários avançados, mas nada impede que você se adapte aos poucos e aprenda muito do que acontece "por trás das cenas". Hoje, para mim, é indispensável e insubstituível. Eu poderia ficar sem qualquer outra extensão para privacidade, uMatrix supre todas as necessidades que tenho. Ainda estou aprendendo. Perfeito !

- Rated 5 out of 5by rptb1, 7 years agoI've been using ad-hoc blocking methods in different addons for some time. uMatrix combines them all very neatly and conveniently. (And it's now on Android too!)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13330934, 7 years agoTHE BEST OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD....POINT !
it's for something that understands networking and how internet, DNS, SOA and all related things ! - Rated 5 out of 5by K8, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13343965, 7 years agoInstall version 1.0.0 of uMatrix:
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/umatrix/versions/?page=1#version-1.0.0
Open the uMatrix Dashboard, all your settings and rules should be there. Now export these settings to a file, update to the latest Version of uMatrix and import the settings from the file you've just saved. Enjoy!
uMatrix is a great addon and I'm glad that the devs put in the effort to switch to web extensions. Your work is highly appreciated :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13323917, 7 years agoFirst of all: people, read the bloody info!
Although you think you get it, although you think you can handle it...
Gorhil is pretty clear (and correct) about it:
*** uMatrix IS NOT FOR EVERYBODY...
RTFM!
As for the coding/ addon: been using it for a while now, and it is perfect! Yes, it breaks stuff sometimes. But then again, that's why you installed it for in the 1st place, right?
Confused? Don't get that last statement?
OK, if you can't figure that out, return to ***
...
Don't say they didn't warn you. ☺
BTW, if you DO know what this is all about, uMatrix works brilliantly with Gorhills (now new) uBO-Scope, because it shows you what those cryptic URLs actually do. So you can block them, if you want. You know, break stuff... Works for me!
Gorhill: I know you don't take feature requests, but concerning uMatrix... If you come over the code (you know, because you're there any way) which defines the name of the backup (settings/ rules) file... Can you please make it add the current date and time, just like with the backup files for uBO? Would be immensely helpful. Enables to keep a small backlog of previous configurations without renaming the files. I know, nothing xdotool on my box can't automate, but still... Cheers... - Rated 5 out of 5by methuzla, 7 years agoBrilliant that this is now photon-compatible, thanks.
However, it seems to have lost my previous uMatrix profiles, so several sites refused to render or to work properly (including addons.moz comments!) until I updated them. Ouch.
That's a bit careless, with no notification. But I sort of understand, and it's a little unfair to criticise after all the work Raymond has done. I blame moz more for the dog's breakfast approach.
Very puzzling until I worked it out. And I had been complaining about Nightly developers, too, releasing a version that didn't render properly, when it was the unannounced uMatrix update that did it.
