It's been three months since the development of the Firefox addon uMatrix, has stopped. Do you still use it? If not, what do you savvy folks use in its stead? (lemmy.ml)

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.
