    Discontinued nuTensor: Point and click matrix to filter net requests according to source, destination and type

  • 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.
