Do strict blocking rules break the extension? #270
Comments
uMatrix doesnt replace Decentraleyes. Read what Decentraleyes do. |
While Decentraleyes will do nothing* in your case, it meight be useful to reduce your footprint for websites where you need to (temporary) whitelist CDNs because the sites are broken otherwise. * Currently not sure if Decentraleyes also replaces CSS from CDNs, if so, that files would be replaced, if Decentraleyes has them. |
Look, I'm a kind of default block everything and whitelist. Your hypothetical setup is similar to mine, except I limit CSS and images to 1st party I also only allow 1st party in uBO. And back in pre FF57 days I also used NoScript (legacy). These stats (around 21%) are since I moved to uBO web extension, prior to that the ratio was about 7% (because NoScript blocked most 3rd party requests even getting to uBO)
Back to this point... as criztovyl says, you need to whitelist in order to be able to actually use chunks of the internet. So here I am, pretty much locking down anything imaginable and allowing thru the basics where I really need them (and I live in a pretty much broken internet because of it) And here's what they were seven months ago (#214 (comment)) That's 12,805 locally injected resources for 7 months browsing, and I run a *tight ship .. tl;dr: to answer you question, hell yeah, there is a need for Decentraleyes in any configuration |
Thanks, @Thorin-Oakenpants , @criztovyl and @beerisgood . |
You're welcome. |
Assuming you block all requests except CSS and images in uMatrix, would there still be a need for Decentraleyes, and if so, would it work properly if those rules are applied?
As it is, it doesn't seem to work on chrome, though I am a bit of a noob.
