Agreed. I should also mention that I am a heavy user of uMatrix and I haven't been able to use the Debian package because of critical bugs that make it unusable: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=919557 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=916594 etc. > These are the options for solving this issue: > > uMatrix could be removed in favour of uBlock Origin's advanced mode. > > uMatrix could be removed and LibreMatrix packaged, I think this is a > community fork so it should be a drop-in replacement. > > https://www.librematrix.com/ > https://github.com/LibreMatrix/LibreMatrix I'm not sure that's a "drop-in replacement". Librematrix is described as "Forked and refactored from HTTP Switchboard", which itself is the *predecessor* to uMatrix *and* uBlock. So it's not exactly the same thing, although the name sure looks similar. I'd also like to know better why the project was forked before switching... I will probably start to test uBlock's advanced mode instead... a. -- Il faut respecter le noir. Rien ne le prostitue.
