privacybadger VS uMatrix

~Using privacy plug-ins or browsers. You can block our site from setting cookies used for interest-based ads by using a browser with privacy features, like Brave, or installing browser plugins, like Privacy Badger, Ghostery or uBlock Origin, and configuring them to block third party cookies/trackers.

Everyone should install the browser extension Privacy Badger, created by the nonprofit privacy organization Electronic Frontier Foundation. It blocks tracking pixels like the ones described in this article as well as many other forms of tracking that AdBlockers do not.

If you watch on a laptop or pc, try Privacy Badger. It's a browser extension made by the EFF that's blocks third party trackers from monitoring your web activity.

Installing more extensions is the best way to compromise your security. You should keep your extension list as short as possible. So uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger which is built by the EFF

No-one should get close to the internet without running Privacy Badger and adblock.

Do you watch mlb.tv on a computer? Privacy Badger is an extension created by the EFF that's designed to block third party trackers.

I think what you may be looking for is alternative privacy options. I would highly suggest you download the web browser https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/windows/ Install the addons, https://privacybadger.org/ https://ublockorigin.com/ Make sure to enable https only mode in Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/https-only-prefs Then use a privacy oriented search engine like, https://duckduckgo.com/ Or, https://www.startpage.com/ And change your DNS to either, https://www.opendns.com/setupguide/ Or, https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/what-is-1.1.1.1/

My daily machine is currently at 16GiB, the same as ten years ago. My memory usage is down from five or six years ago, which I attribute mainly to uMatrix script-blocking browser plugin.

Can be beacon requests from previous page (happen even now in uBO) or this https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/wiki/Lingering-domain-entries-in-the-matrix

okay totally on my side: it was uMatrix :) https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/wiki/Per-scope-switches#r...

uMatrix

I need Firefox to a) recognize that some of us simply do not WANT to let any random website run code and b) allow me to assign fine-grained permissions Javascript permissions ala Umatrix (https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix).

Check your facts.

This vulnerability has been fixed in uMatrix 1.4.2 [0], released few days after the linked news article.

To those familiar with the HTML DOM I recommend uMatrix from the same author as uBlock origin. It makes a good companion to uBlock Origin and provides much finer control.
