nuTensor from geekprojects (Archived)

https://github.com/geekprojects/nuTensor says their intent is to keep it working with Firefox. It is 23 commits ahead of the gorhill/uMatrix repo, but it hasn't had a commit in two years.

But nikobockerman did not commit anything. Its just a fork of the archived https://github.com/geekprojects/nuTensor. Therefore I dont see it maintained. But just now I realized you never told the fork was maintained.

sorry, i just realized the project is called "nuTensor", not uTensor. This is their github https://github.com/geekprojects/nuTensor

You can try to write to one of the developers of forks, such as nuTensor, perhaps they can fix the problem and then you can use the fork.

The uBlock Origin patch can be cleanly applied to the uMatrix codebase. Here's the analogous PR for nuTensor: https://github.com/geekprojects/nuTensor/pull/24

The ηMatrix patch would require slight modifications due to stylistic differences between the uMatrix and ηMatrix codebases.

If the nuTensor PR gets applied and releases are made, then switching extensions might be a reasonable migration path for some users. You can also try to sideload a patched version of uMatrix, but sideloading procedures have become more onerous over time and may be annoying to deal with.

Manually applied the changes in this pull request from the nuTensor project to the file /src/js/main-blocked.js. :)

Also uMatrix is not dead. Just use nuTensor instead. It's very simple to compile (on Linux). I don't know anything about programming but I managed, so, so can you (probably).

There's the nuTensor fork which will not add features but will maintain the code.

Lots of what the article talks about pertains to the difference between a 'full DE' and 'just a WM'. Gnome and KDE fall in the first category. They have a notification system, lockscreens, app launcher, etc by default. Hyprland doesn't. It puts windows on your screen and allows you to control their layout, everything beyond that, you can add yourself.

This article mentions dunst for notifications, Rofi for app launchers, Waybar for a status bar, swaylock for screen locking, ... I've been having a great time using just AGS [0]. AGS, at its core, is a framework to write all of those tools. It is based on the same technology that Gnome Shell uses, i.e. GJS. You can build up all of the widgets you want and need using Gtk and replace all of the tools I mentioned before. But be warned: AGS only provides you with the libraries you need, you'll still need to build the UI yourself. Unless you copy someone else's configuration of course ;)
