aren’t both bad? I don’t know adguard but already ublock origin didn’t have enough options to unbreak websites, it was either on or off, so lite… now I just use uMatrix and adjust the settings for each site.
What are you talking about? With uBlock Origin you can customize the block lists, change it per site, and easily select your own elements to block…
with umatrix you have a table of each domain this site is using and can toggle, for each of them, javascript, xhr, media, images and other stuff. of course, uMatrix is not an ad blocker but tracking blocker, so you can’t block html elements.
uBlock Origin will also show you a list of all the blocked resources and their domains. It’s somewhat effective against tracking (though admittedly I don’t know how uMatrix does it, maybe it’s a little different)
with ublock origin you would have to edit the blocklist and add the url you want to block/unblock. with umatrix you have a table like this:
you can block/unblock domains, and also change the global configuration. I, by default, block all javascript and XHR and enable some if they are needed.
That does seem better for fine grained control. Personally I don’t really bother with much outside the block lists, and the defaults work well, so uBlock Origin has been fine for me.
yeah, uBlock origin usually works, but it doesn’t block everything. uMatrix is a bit of a compromise between ublock origin and disabling javascript.
