    You can achieve the same level of protection except for a few little differences (like blocking cookies granularly) wit uBlock Origin. If you use it on hard mode it is basically the same.

      By the way, this was the reasoning behind the halt of development on uMatrix, that uB O can achieve the same blocking, and it is recommended to use it this way also by the Privacy Tools team, so I think this way of doing things is a bit backed up by them.

        Ah, I was not aware this was their reasoning. And uBo hard mode does look very familiar to uMatrix. I’ll give it a spin over the next week, see how it pans out.

            You can block media, scripts, frames and fonts with uBlock, and it is recommended to use Temporary Containers anyway so blocking cookies isn’t relevant here, so the only thing you’re missing is CSS and XHR and others, you should use CSS Exfil protection for CSS so I think you’re pretty much covered.
