- Y is the destination hostname axis (`www.example.com`, `example.com`, `com`, `*`)
- Switching scopes in matrix popup does not create/delete scopes, this just allows a user to modify rules in a specific scope
- Rules in narrower scope(s) still exist and are enforced even if you have the global scope selected
- Settings which no longer exist:
- _"Enable strict blocking"_: This is the only available mode. Strict-blocking was added at some point during HTTPSB development, and at the time I kept "loose blocking" just to not upset the users who already got used to this way of working.
- _"Auto create temporary"_: Not needed anymore with the new literal `1st-party` row. Set rules on the `1st-party` which will be inherited by whatever row which is deemed first-party to the URL in the address bar.
- _"Copy all rules from global scope into newly created local scopes"_: Not needed anymore since all scopes virtually exist at all time.
- _"Auto delete unused temporary scopes"_: Again, not needed anymore since all scopes virtually exist at all time.
- Much needed [code refactoring](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_refactoring) toward portability/efficiency
- Big chunks of tired code have been removed, or replaced by small chunks of better code
- There is no longer a hierarchical data structures for scopes/rules (**major** contribution toward code simplification)
