   -1     1 xiMatrix - block requests based on domain and type
   -1     2 
   -1     3 This extension is heavily inspired by
   -1     4 [uMatrix](https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix), but much simpler. By default,
   -1     5 all web requests as well as inline code are blocked. You can then define rules
   -1     6 to allow only those requests you want. Definitely for advanced users.

   -1    10 ## Differences to uMatrix
   -1    11 
   -1    12 -	advantages
   -1    13 	-	uMatrix is no longer maintained. The last release was in July 2021.
   -1    14 	-	keyboard navigation
   -1    15 	-	simpler code
   -1    16 	-	it is possible to control inline scripts, styles, and images
   -1    17 	-	there is a separate column for fonts
   -1    18 -	disadvantages / simplifications
   -1    19 	-	no settings at all
   -1    20 	-	less flexible rules
   -1    21 		-	there are no block rules, so it is not possible to overwrite an extensive
   -1    22 			allow rule with a more specific block rule
   -1    23 		-	images and media have been combined into a single column
   -1    24 		-	I am sure some of the details of the rule inheritance are different. I
   -1    25 			tried to produce something that works for me rather than copying every
   -1    26 			detail.
   -1    27 	-	it is not currently possible to block cookies
   -1    28 	-	it is not currently possible to edit or import/export the rules as text
   -1    29 	-	there is no distinction between temporary and permanent rules
   -1    30 	-	the popup is not updated while it is open. You have to close and open it
   -1    31 		again to refresh the data.
   -1    32 	-	the icon does not show the amount of blocked requests
   -1    33 	-	there is no reload button in the popup
   -1    34 	-	blocked images are not replaced by a placeholder
   -1    35 
   -1    36 ## Known issues
   -1    37 
   -1    38 -	there are no counts for inline code, so you cannot see whether they are
   -1    39 	relevant for the current page
   -1    40 -	some cached requests are not included in the request counts
