- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13778820, 7 years agoBug sur sites de cartographies/rando comme ignrando.fr ou openrunner.com. Le module empêche l'affichage des cartes. Désactiver les filtres ne suffit pas il faut désactiver tout le module !
Bug on map/trekking sites like ignrando.fr or openrunner.com. Module prevent maps to be displayed. It's necessary to entirely inactivate the module (inactivation of all filters doesn't work)
Thanks for answer : problem was from "smart referer extension", not usable in this case.Developer response
posted 7 years agoI could make the map renders fine on both sites with just a couple "allow" rules:

As stated on the front page of the project:
> [uMatrix] is for advanced users who can figure how to un-break sites, because essentially uMatrix is a firewall which works in relaxed block-all/allow-exceptionally mode out of the box: it is not unexpected that sites will break.
> [...]
> Using uMatrix logger is key to un-break sites: the logger will show you all that uMatrix does internally. - Rated 4 out of 5by The loner, 7 years agoI love the Addon the only thing it needs to be fixed is the UI making it more user friendly and more easy to navigate for new users

I'm not sure about data collecting though. This developer's uBlock is famous to make external connection in background. What about this one?Developer response

What is this nonsense? Stick to facts/evidences and stop spreading disinformation.
uMatrix and uBlock Origin connects only to download assets used (filter lists, hosts files), and you have full control over this. I know of no content blocker in the same class as uBlock Origin which do not need to regularly download filter lists for their proper functioning, so you have to be trolling to claim that I am "famous" for what is the expected behavior.

If you do not like it, just don't use the extension, and refrain from spreading disinformation. - Rated 4 out of 5by JL, 7 years ago

uMatrix fullfill all the tasks, what i need to have on my browser, all websites are set suspicious and blocks all vulnerable elements.
But i would likely uMatrix to remember my trusted choices, especially some domains, like googlevideo.com, gstatic or Captcha services.
I don't want to re-enable those things over and over again on different sites.Developer response
posted 7 years agoIf you want one or more rules to apply everywhere, just select the global scope, set the rule(s), then click the padlock to save them. Rules set in the global scope will apply everywhere, on all sites. The padlock will make these rules permanent, they will still be there when you reload the extension.
I wrote a new mini guide for this today (2017-11-27):

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 10435143, 7 years agoThis could be so freaking good. But ... it can be a real pain in the ass! Why? Because sometimes just having uMatrix enabled in the Extensions page of Firefox will break some websites even though uMatrix is set to "Disabled for this scope."
This occurs mostly on login pages, and one has to go to the extension page and disable uMatrix to login to a site. This is across both Linux and Windows.
If there was a way to COMPLETELY disable uMatix from the toolbar... well that would be great.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThe idea is that you should configure the proper ruleset once for the login then you will be set forever. You can create rules in the global scope for things that will often need whitelisting. The top-left cell is the scope selector, from where you can access the global scope.
In any case, you can disable globally by selecting the global scope and toggle off matrix filtering, not recommended though, best is to create the needed rules so you do not have to ever disable globally.
If you submitted your specific issue in the forum I could probably guide you on how to solve your specific issue: https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/support-umatrix/5131 - Rated 4 out of 5by TradeHound, 7 years agoI really like that you can block everything within one add on. I am still learning how to use it. Two things would be great to add:
1. I would like to be able to import my old NoScript whitelist.
2. NoScript had a feature that you could middle-click on a domain in the dropdown list and you could customize to go to another website:
I had it so I could quickly check that domain on Norton, like this:
https://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?url=someSite.com
It would put "someSite.com" (whatever you middle-clicked on) on the path
so I could easily know whether to allow that javascript for someSite.com, etc. - Rated 4 out of 5by agentcobra, 7 years ago
