Forked and refactored from HTTP Switchboard.

You may contribute with translation work on Crowdin: µMatrix on Crowdin.

HTTP Switchboard's documentation is still relevant, except for µMatrix's differences with HTTP Switchboard.

Warnings

Do not remove the doc rule!

This rule is key for µMatrix to work smoothly. This rule did exists in HTTP Switchboard, however it was hidden from view. With µMatrix I decided to just give more control. So you could delete the rule * * doc allow, but this will render µMatrix much more difficult to use. I advise you do not delete it from your ruleset.

Regarding broken sites

µMatrix does not guarantee that sites will work fine: it is for advanced users who can figure how to un-break sites, because essentially µMatrix is a firewall which works in block-all/allow-exceptionally mode out of the box: it is not unexpected that sites will break.

So this means do not file issues to report broken sites when the sites are broken because µMatrix does its job as expected. I will close any such issue without further comment.

I expect there will be community driven efforts for users to help each others. If µMatrix had a home, I would probably set up a forum, but I do not plan for such thing, I really just want to code, not manage web sites. If you need help to un-break a site when using µMatrix, you can try Wilders Security, where you are likely to receive help if needed, whether by me or other users.

µMatrix can be set to work in allow-all/block-exceptionally mode with a single click on the all cell in the global scope *, if you prefer to work this way. This will of course break less sites, but you would then lose all the benefits which comes with block-all/allow-exceptionally mode.
