    Still using and still hoping someone forks it and maintains it/improves it

    Even if not really as powerful, ublock in advanced mode (nightmare setting, so kind of everything blocked) is a decent replacement. You can check jshelter too if you like another layer, specifically for javascript

      I hadn’t heard of jshelter before, thanks! I’ll give it a whirl later.

    I stopped using it a while ago, because I found it too micro-managerial.

    I’m using NoScript and Cookie AutoDelete instead.

    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.

          its similar but not as much stuff you can pick to let through only one toggle perdomain for scripts and thats it

            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.

    Great, I just remembered that Firefox was no longer working with those privacy protections.

    Back to the drawing board for me…
