[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 854324, member: 82776"] I am with you, but uMatrix can't block some sneaky popups either. When the pop-up includes a redirect the redirected website becomes first-party. So it does not cover all potential dangerous holes. I am not going to point you to a test-it-yourself-websites (learned that lesson (y):ROFLMAO:). uMatrix's power is restricted to the API it can use, so it does not qualify as a browser firewall (again I could point you to websites which evade uMatrix filtering capabilities) [/QUOTE]
