[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#976697: webext-umatrix: no longer developed upstream

[Phil Morrell]

I *relunctantly* agree that it makes sense to skip bullseye, but I hope
a fork will become a clear winner in time for bookworm. Similar to Axel,
I am still happily using it on buster with firefox-esr. Though I can
reproduce #919557 in a clean profile, it doesn't affect my main one for
some reason. I had a look at the uMatrix Network graph and believe
nuTensor to be the most maintained fork at this time.

https://github.com/geekprojects/nuTensor

> uMatrix could be removed in favour of uBlock Origin's advanced mode.

While this may be sufficient for some (and in fact gorhill long ago
recommended this), I personally much prefer uMatrix. It may be
subjective, but it's the only extension that makes me feel like I have
control over the browsing experience, acting much like a firewall.
Especially since the introduction of recipes it has become very easy,
though it would be nice to have a larger set.
