I've used both plugins (independently of each other) off and on the last year or so and I'm trying to understand the differences between them; specifically how "scopes" work. In Policeman, there are a number of sites under Origin. I have the impression that if site A loads site Y, site B loads site Y, and site Y loads site Z, if I configure rules for site Y about site Z they apply when sites A and B load site Y. In uMatrix the blue box specifies scope, which appears to be global, site.com, speci...

I have come across a website whose webpages consist solely of JavaScript. This website hosts videos that I would like to mirror. When I open this website in Firefox and read the page source, I see the JavaScript imports in script tags. When I inspect the page in Firefox, I see HTML, including a video tag. I presume the JavaScript has generated that HTML. (I have not programmed JavaScript, so I do not know its intricacies.) How do I go about expanding the JavaScript, after downloading the origina...

Firefox 50's release notes: Emoji for everyone! Firefox will use built-in Emoji on operating systems without native Emoji fonts (Windows 8.0 and lower and Linux) So I'm on Windows 7 and I absolutely dislike colored emoji for how much distracting they are. There is no font file called "EmojiOne Mozilla" to delete from Windows' fonts folder, unfortunately. And there is no relevant option in about:config list I could find. How do I disable colored emoticons? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

Short answer: It's a little more complicated than a simple "yes" or "no". But having Ghostery definitely helps. Long answer: Google does a lot of tracking. Some of them cannot be stopped by anything short of not visiting it, because the tracking is based on IP address. There are people who do opt not to visit Google at all and use DuckDuckGo instead. There is another category of tracking that is done independent of your login cookie, so as to track you regardless of whether you are logged in or ...

Right now I'm running a java app by SSH-ing to a VM on Google Cloud Compute. I issue a command to run the app and it loads a console. As soon as I terminate the SSH connection, the app shuts down. I assume this is because the console has been closed. I would like this app (which is a server) to persist after I terminate SSH, and, at any point, I would like to be able to reconnect to the console and issue commands on the server. Thank You!

I have the IP Country Domain Flag addon installed on Chrome and the Flagfox addon installed on Firefox. Both are meant to report where the IP address of a domain name is hosted. I understand that a single domain may have more than one IP address. But when I go to Wikipedia on Chrome, IP Country Domain Flag says that the server is located in the Netherlands, whereas if I visit Wikipedia on Firefox, it reports the server being in the US. Why does this happen when I am using different browsers? By...

Clearing cookies does not prevent Craigslist from tracking certain actions, not using cookies, and I'm trying to figure out what technique is being used. You can follow the following steps to see what I mean: Go to Craigslist.org and click one of the categories. This will display a list of ads. Hide an ad by clicking the X to the right of the ad (or under the ad in gallery view) and notice that on the top of the page, the count increments next to the red "X". for example, next to the red X on...

Short answer: Sorry, no. All you can do is to edit the task bar settings and disable combining windows. Long answer: The app window combining algorithm and Firefox's multitasking mechanism really leave you without much of an option. Windows groups apps based on a window ID. (I've forgotten the actual name.) So, it is possible for one process (say Firefox.exe) generate different window IDs. In fact, explorer.exe does that; that's why normal Explorer windows and Control Panel do not merge. Firefox...

I've installed some useful Firefox addons, like "stylish", which make pages darker so my monitor isn't so blinding at night. The problem is that Firefox tus blinding white as the page is loading. It only shows the pages' style or the addons' style when the page is loaded, which can be a while sometimes. How do I get the default background color to be black? I already tried setting the "Background Color" under "Content" -> "Colors" (as shown below). It either doesn't do anything, or it makes a...

Some sites I visit tend to use heavy JS scripting causing some lags if they are open in multiple tabs simultaneously. I would really love to disable JS for all of them that might not require JS to work properly. However, I've also noticed that disabling JS for a site causes installed extensions background pages (not sure about the proper term here) not work, hence I cannot use such extensions. Is it possible to disable JS for some sites and let JS-based extensions at those sites in Google Chrome...
