Rated 5 out of 5
by Esoteric Snarge, 8 years agoAm confronting yet another uMatrix popover that only displays a big orange caution sign, the URL uMatix has blocked and a CLOSE button. The rest of the page is white space.
A GitHub page looked promising -
How to get past "uMatrix has prevented the following page from loading" - -
https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/wiki/How-to-get-past-%22uMatrix-has-prevented-the-following-page-from-loading%22
Trouble is, unlike the VERY nifty new-for-1.1.14 feature Ray described in great detail at the bottom and that I've already used a number of times (it parses URL parameters and really does give the intended hyperlink so you skip over the ad garbage and go directly to the page wanted) the top screenshot and explanation is incorrect, at least for me.
For example, when I visit an AT&T site to rant, a Feedback tab appears on the right side. When clicked, uMatrix generates a popOVER window up stating - uMatrix has prevented the following page from loading: https://secure.opinionlab.com/ccc01/comment_card_d.asp
Unlike his screenshot, these popover pages lack the isolated uMatrix icon or a tab on the top bar of the window (though there's one inside the address input line that doesn't do much) that standard FF browser windows would have. It lacks all of the typical FF icons - back arrow, refresh, search. There's just a very wide address window and the 3-barred settings icon at the far right.
That big Caution sign might as well be a Dead End sign. I'm still unable to find a way to UNPREVENT (disable) the uMatrix block! Help??
Also, I must not understand this review page's GUI. The review/question I posed a month ago that the dev kindly answered with info that others might benefit from reading has disappeared, with no warning that I was overwriting it by posting this second question a month later. It was still visible just before I posted this one. Any ideas wot hoppened??

One way to access the popup panel is through the logger. See https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/wiki/How-to-access-the-popup-panel-when-there-is-no-toolbar

- Rated 5 out of 5by Alex Osmand, 6 months agoDear Raymond Hill, I created a profile specifically to write a review. Your extension is simply brilliantly designed; I now don't visit any websites without it until I enable it. We users really like it; even though there aren't many downloads, those who understand how it works truly admire it. It allows you to remove so much unnecessary junk from websites, and I like that you have complete control over it all. I really hope, and I would be very happy for other users, if you don't abandon this extension and continue updating it, maybe not too often, but at least periodically. Please don't abandon this extension, Raymond Hill, we kindly ask you to.
Уважаемый Raymond Hill, специально создал профиль чтобы написать отзыв. Ваше расширение это просто гениально продуманная вещь, без него теперь не посещаю никакие сайты, пока его не включу. Нам пользователям оно очень нравится, пускай не так много скачиваний, но кто понимает как оно устроено, как работает, те действительно восхищаются его работой. С помощью него так можно много ненужного убрать, разного хлама с сайтов и нравится что ты сам это всё контролируешь. Очень надеюсь, я бы был очень рад и другие пользователи если вы не забросите это расширение, а продолжите обновлять, пускай не так часто, но хоть периодически. Пожалуйста не бросайте это расширение Raymond Hill, очень вас просим. - Rated 5 out of 5by Ugarov, 7 months ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18205130, a year agoit's a good extension, just like noscript, but it constantly resets approved requests, and because of this, I can forget about the extension and think why aren't the sites working properly?
- Rated 5 out of 5by Phone, a year agoМой инструмент №1. Отличный блокировщик. А в паре с uBlock origin вообще - сладкая парочка. Есть, конечно. запарки при скачивании с ютуба роликов, но если их знаешь, то не проблема. Долой трекеры и аналитику! Даешь летающие сайты!
- Rated 3 out of 5by Maustek, a year agoWorked perfectly until update to 140.0.2 (64 bit), it now hogs 10% CPU and doesn't save what i allowed on each page.
