I was using their software because a friend wanted me to work with him on a google doc, he is a pretty big fan of their software, but we were both somehow absolutely shocked that they would go that far.)

Scopes

Scope	Is supported?	Notes
Navigation and HTTP requests in general	Yes	This allows untracking URLs for every HTTP request the browser sends utilizing the webRequest API. This also why uU requires the permissions webRequest and webRequestBlocking to modify HTTP requests for all sites.
Bookmarks sanitizing	Yes	This allows untracking URLs for each bookmark whose tracked URL invaded your bookmark collections utilizing the bookmarks API. This also why uU requires global permissions bookmarks to access the bookmarks.
Sharing links	Yes, via the context menu	Currently uU does not untrack URLs on the page (in the DOM). The "Copy Untracked Link" from the context menu copies an untracked link similarly "Copy Link Without Site Tracking" that is implemented by Mozilla Firefox itself.
On-page links	No	To be discussed.
Warned page redirects	Dropped	In principle, this is greatly supported by uMatrix and the feature of uU is a subject for potential removal.
Randomized tracking parameters poisoning	No	To be discussed.

Why Firefox only

Currently uU and μuU are designed for use in Mozilla Firefox only just because Mozilla Firefox does not restrict manifest.json to the very limited v3 that is forced in Google Chrome. I didn't check how the extension works in browsers other than Mozilla Firefox.

uU and μuU are currently published at:

• uU - addons.mozilla.org
• μuU - addons.mozilla.org

Thanks
