# µMatrix for Chromium
Forked and refactored from [HTTP Switchboard](https://github.com/gorhill/httpswitchboard).
Install [manually](https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/blob/master/doc/INSTALL.md) the [latest release](https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/releases), or from [Opera store](https://addons.opera.com/en-gb/extensions/details/umatrix/), [Chrome store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/µmatrix/ogfcmafjalglgifnmanfmnieipoejdcf).
You may contribute with translation work on Crowdin: [µMatrix on Crowdin](https://crowdin.com/project/umatrix).
[HTTP Switchboard's documentation](https://github.com/gorhill/httpswitchboard/wiki) is still relevant, except for [µMatrix's differences with HTTP Switchboard](https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/wiki/Changes-from-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](http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/umatrix-the-http-switchboard-successor.369601/), 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](https://github.com/gorhill/httpswitchboard/wiki/How-to-use-HTTP-Switchboard:-Two-opposing-views#the-allow-allblock-exceptionally-approach) 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.
