![]() He stops dead in his tracks and says jokingly “are you looking at women on company time” and he laughs. So at that job I’m having the browser open reading something and one of the older guys is walking past me. This was an office job with a desk and coworkers walking past me all the time. I still use an ad-blocker on all of my own systems, and on my current company laptop.īut a few years back at a different company I didn’t have any ad blocker installed. I grew up with ads and learned to not pay attention to them. The world of tech has turned into white collar factory workers for the vast majority of its' participants. There is a whole generation of tech workers that only understand how to swing a hammer, and rely strictly on these tools without knowing anything larger in scope than the hammer and nails in front of them. It is surprising how many people don't understand basic port mapping or even how a compiler works at a high level. You'd be surprised how many people who build web stuff daily know surprisingly little about how the web actually works or any details aside from that.Ī surprisingly massive portion of people in tech have learned just enough through bootcamps and youtube videos to accomplish just enough for the specific job they are doing without realizing how it works or anything deeper than simple what to type to fix a problem.įor example: I'm shocked at the number of even senior web developers that I work with who don't know the difference between an A record and a CNAME record in DNS or even the basics of how DNS works. ![]() ![]() UBlock has some really nice new feature since its latest beta - it can block scripts by content - although other scripts are allowed.> how do people who build web stuff daily not know. meanwhile i am on a deny/allow policy and ofc this makes more work to me. I had also some problems when using uMatrix the first time - although i knew it from my early chrome steps. Sometimes or apis.-google-com are needed - for eg drop down menusīlacklisted domains are found in the internal hosts file (in uMatrix and uBlock, enable in uMatrix, disable in uBlock if both installed) If number is > 1 then its a needed content, any other is a one-time shot for ads or other crap Thee is one simple way to determine blocked content which is needed, see picture here If you you want to deny popups by default set xhr to block. (the block events are not really necessary because the general * * * block rule but it helps to understand) Plus you can block with it also 1st-party cookies.Ĭlick to expand.xhr = popups, other = misc content like video/audio in most cases. However because of the rules restricted to first party scope, uMatrix is by default safer at least with privacy regard than NS. The third party plugins will still be blocked by uMatrix.įor security when running Firefox I would most likely use NoScript in allow mood to have the extra protection of those things you mentioned together with uMatrix or uBlock Origin in medium mode. ![]() Easier that way in my opinion to allow what is just needed and no more. Except I would block plugins in Chrome with the 'Let me choose when to run plugin content' browser setting rather than with uMatrix. Those are good rules to fall back that Brummelchen has in the post below. When newcomers try to make global rules with the top left cell, they can often mess their uMatrix rules quite badly when not remembering to set it back to domain scopes. No idea how easy that would be to implement. The 3rd-party domain selectors in uMatrix could be divided into global and local whitelisting, they are wide and that concept could be easy understood. uBlock Origin is much easier to whitelist globally than with uMatrix UI. But more natural to allow 3rd-party to a scope. NS whitelists the domains globally, so often the 3rd party is already whitelisted. And the other is the scope concept of uMatrix. I agree with your comment too about it taking longer to whitelist in uMatrix 3rd-party than NS. With NS you will have to whitelist more often. ![]() Click to expand.The default install settings of uMatrix allow all 1st-party which makes it in general easier than NoScript on an unknown site with scripts. ![]()
