uMatrix is a matrix-based firewall Chrome extension designed to put users in control of their browser's activities. It enables users to decide where their browser connects, what type of data is downloaded, and what is allowed to execute, offering unparalleled privacy control. Out of the box, uMatrix blocks all 3rd-party scripts, which can be adjusted according to user’s preferences. Its filtering engine uses precedence logic to evaluate what is blocked or allowed. Additionally, it provides basic protection against trackers and malware sites.

uMatrix put you in full control of where your browser is allowed to connect, what type of data it is allowed to download, and what it is allowed to execute. Nobody else decides for you: You choose. You are in full control of your privacy.
Out of the box, uMatrix works in relax block-all/allow-exceptionally mode, meaning web sites which require 3rd-party scripts are likely to be "broken". With two clicks, uMatrix can be set to work in allow-all/block-exceptionally mode, which generally will not break web sites. See https://github.com/gorhill/httpswitchboard/wiki/How-to-use-HTTP-Switchboard:-Two-opposing-views for more details on this topic.
See ALL the remote connections, failed or attempted, depending on whether they were blocked or allowed (you decide).
A single-click to whitelist/blacklist one or multiple classes of requests according to the destination and type of data (a blocked request will NEVER leave your browser).
Efficient blacklisting: cookies won't leave your browser, JavaScript won't execute, plugins won't play, tracking pixels won't download, etc.

Hello,
I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 50,000 users and up.
No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me.
We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States.
It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact.
If you have any needs, please contact us via the following contacts

Like someone said there is a learning curve - but not steep at all if you are keen to take what is on offer (lots)!
Good for monitoring, good for blocking especially when you may be looking at banking, etc.
Choosing the base configuration may require a little time and trial, including deleting all default rules(!).
Is there an indicator for phishing site on the panel? Will the assets accept ABP style block lists?
Thank you. Regards.

Will the blocking assets accept ABP format block lists? If not, then it might be worthwhile!?
Thank you. Regards. PS: is there an indicator for phishing site on the panel?
uMatrix is risky to use as it requires a number of sensitive permissions that can
potentially harm your browser and steal your data. Exercise caution when installing this
extension. Review carefully before installing. We recommend that you only
install
uMatrix
if you trust the publisher.
Risk likelihood
uMatrix has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
