Ublock Origin becomes #1 Firefox addon, beating Adblock Plus
But keep it mind that it has been discontinued quite some time ago, so keep an eye on the issue-tracker for vulnerabilities.

Test your Ad Blocking
Is it a good idea to be using uMatrix? I was under the impression that development on the project ended back in 2020, the code is archived and no longer actively maintained.

No, uMatrix is not completely dead, and gosh no, uBlock does not replace it and NoScript whatsoever
uMatrix gives you control over the requests that websites make to other websites. Many websites integrate features which let other websites track you, such as Facebook Like Buttons or Google Analytics. uMatrix allows 1st party scripts in its default configuration. If you want the default functionality of NoScript consider blocking 1st party scripts everywhere by default. This addon has been discontinued.

Google Removed ClearURLs Extension from Chrome Web Store
Raymond Hill has stopped developing uMatrix and also stopped accepting PRs because it's currently too much work for him [1]. So be aware that bugs will probably not be fixed.

Prevent Google from mangling search result links when click/copying on Firefox
I wrote a simple addon that avoids just that https://github.com/dandanua/copy-true-link
The code doesn't prevent event propagation, instead it copies the link before propagation happens. I guess this way is more reliable.

Google Removed ClearURLs Extension from Chrome Web Store
I wrote a very basic extension Copy True Link https://github.com/dandanua/copy-true-link
It doesn't remove trackers from the URLs yet, but at least you can copy what is displayed at the status bar when you hover over the link. It's useful since a lot of tracking sites (like FB) substitute that status bar link for the tracking one before clicking.
I think I'll add some cleaning process in the future.
