- Everything uMatrix did can be covered by prefs or other extensions: use uBlock Origin for any content blocking.
* Cookie extensions
* ❗️ Functionality for extensions may be missing for clearing IndexedDB, Service Workers cache, or cache **by host**. Clearing cookies & localStorage on their own, and leaving orphaned persistent data is a false sense of privacy
