No, you don't need it. uMatrix replaces HTTP Switchboard.
You can always use a firewall. Even ufw, which is pretty simple allows filtering by IP. Keep in mind that to block everything and allow only a few...
Hmm you shouldn't rely on a Google benchmark to test a Google machine. Moreover iirc it only measures Javascript performance. And while Chromebox...
@ddot I'm using Linux Mint XFCE which is based on ubuntu 14.04, and I experience the same issue. When lauching the whisker menu for the 1st time...
@gorhill : could you implement some sort of profile system that applies pre-defined rules ? While rebuilding all my websites rules these past few...
Opera has the same extension framework as Chrome/Chromium. A few things have changed names, but overall it's mostly the same. So no there's no...
I agree with @tlu. Adding more extensions that have the same features will only waste memory/cpu, and could even lead to glitches. I don't even...

I haven't tried uMatrix yet, I'm still using HTTPSB. It's my only 3rd party extension and I really like it. But I'm wondering if there's a chance...

Ermm... Not sure about Chrome, but I've created a script blocker on old Opera (presto) and the blocker doesn't parse anything.... It's the...
The problem with temp files usually isn't the space they take but the fragmentation of the disk, especially if you separate os from data in at...
