A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm using Firefox:
And umatrix was developed by Gorhill, who also develops ublock origin, and umatrix is no longer maintained because ublock origin is simply more useful.
Its unmaintained and using it together with uBlock Origin can supposedly (not tested it myself) lead to uMatrix undermining uBlock Origin. Even Arkenfox recommends against using uMatrix.
Fair, for me personally running a privacy oriented addon that is unmaintained and thus cant keep up with new developments seems not worth it. But I get your point. I wish uMatrix wasnt abandoned.
uBlock Origin isnt just an adblocker, but a wide spectrum blocker. It wouldnt necessarily show itself by ads suddenly appearing. At least, thats what Gorhill himself says.
