en We will miss this tool! Probably will migrate to another browser after MV3 will be enforced

en Even though this addon is no longer actively developed, I still use & highly value it on all my browsers. It's a great shame that it will soon stop working. Alternative MV3 script blocker options are sadly lacking by comparison - spent hours looking yesterday & nothing comes close to the functionality of umatrix.

en Best I've ever seen. Too bad it's hard to find on a search engine. Just a blazing fast for Selenium programming.

en Not user friendly, but powerful. You can direct very specifically what parts(javascript, xml, css, cookies, frames, media) of webpages are loaded and which aren't. It gives so much control in the hands of the user, whereas companies tend to stuff their pages chock full of stuff many people don't want. With umatrix YOU get to choose what they can load on your screen. Not actively developed for a long time now, but it's so basic that it will probably work without issues until chromium changes how webpages are loaded on a fundamental level.

en Quite simply the absolute best security addon for Chrome, or Edge. Nothing is better. A full in-browser firewall. I hope this addon is updated for the new v3 rulesets for Chromium browsers. This addon provides critical security enhancement for Chromium browsers.

en 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 Whatsapp: +1 (248) 896‑8035 Telegram: t.me/harryysandersonn

en It's great for advanced users, for the time being. The project is no longer being developed (since 2021) and the Github repository has been archived. It will probably, mostly, continue to work for years. Probably. Apparently you can get some support from uBlock github site, I have no knowledge on the details of this.
