Referer header
matrixSwitchNoscriptSpoof=Spoof You can inspect details of the most recent raw HTTP requests which have been made by a web page (see below).
This is mostly useful to advanced users who want to investigate exactly what a web page has been doing. But logging these HTTP requests requires memory, and if you don't care about this technical information, then memory is being wasted.
Hence this field which lets you adjust the maximum number of the most recent HTTP requests which are to be logged for further inspection.
Enter “0” to turn off detailed logging (and consequently reduce the memory footprint of ηMatrix).
Blacklisted cookies are not prevented by ηMatrix from entering your browser. However they are prevented from leaving your browser, which is what really matters. Not blocking cookies before they enter your browser gives you the opportunity to be informed that a site tried to use cookies, and furthermore to inspect their contents if you wish.
Once these blacklisted cookies have been accounted for by ηMatrix, they can be removed from your browser if you wish so.
Important note: Extensions can make web requests during the course of their normal operation. These requests can result in cookies being created in the browser. If the hostname from where a cookie originate is not whitelisted, the cookie will be removed from the browser by ηMatrix if this option is checked. So be sure that the hostname(s) with which an extension communicate is whitelisted.
privacyDeleteNonBlockedSessionCookiesPrompt1=Delete non-blocked session cookies privacyDeleteNonBlockedSessionCookiesPrompt2= minutes after the last time they have been used. privacyDeleteNonBlockedSessionCookiesHelp=W3C: “A session cookie ... is erased when you end the browser session. The session cookie is stored in temporary memory and is not retained after the browser is closed.”
Except that this might not be happening in some browsers. Also, to some, having to close the browser in order for the session cookies to clear might not be early enough.
privacyDeleteBlockedLocalStoragePrompt=Delete local storage content set by blocked hostnames privacyDeleteBlockedLocalStorageHelp=TODO privacyClearCachePrompt1=Clear browser cache every privacyClearCachePrompt2=minūtes. privacyClearCacheHelp=Some web sites are really bent on tracking you, so much that they will use not-so-nice tricks to work around whatever measures you take in order to not be tracked.
A few of these tricks rely[1, 2] on the browser cache, which content is often long lasting since rarely will users take the time to regularly clear their browser cache.
There is little inconvenience to clear the browser cache regularly (likelihood is that you won't notice when it happens), and the benefit is to prevent these obnoxious trackers from invading your privacy.
Check this option to have ηMatrix do it for you, at the interval you wish.

privacyProcessRefererPrompt=Spoof HTTP referrer string of third-party requests. privacyProcessRefererHelp=From Wikipedia:HTTP referer is an HTTP header field that identifies the address of the webpage that linked to the resource being requested. ... Because referer information can violate privacy, some web browsers allow the user to disable the sending of referer information.If this setting is checked, ηMatrix will spoof the HTTP referrer information if the domain name of the HTTP referrer is third-party to the domain name of net request. privacyNoMixedContentPrompt=Strict HTTPS: forbid mixed content. privacyNoMixedContentHelp=
From Mozilla Developer Network:
If [a] HTTPS page includes content retrieved through regular, cleartext HTTP, then the connection is only partially encrypted: the unencrypted content is accessible to sniffers and can be modified by man-in-the-middle attackers, and therefore the connection is not safeguarded anymore. When a webpage exhibits this behavior, it is called a mixed content page.privacyProcessHyperlinkAuditingPrompt=Block all hyperlink auditing attempts. privacyProcessHyperlinkAuditingHelp=
Hyperlink auditing is a mechanism which allow a party, any party, to be informed about which link a user clicked on a particular web page. It is essentially a tracking feature: it allows a web site, or any third-party to that web site, to be informed about which link you clicked on which one of its web pages. The sole purpose is to track your browsing activity.

For example, some websites will redirect users to a “scriptless” version.
When ηMatrix blocks scripts, the browser will still advertise itself as supporting script execution unless this option is selected.
When selected, ηMatrix will tell the website that the browser does not support scripts, which is what you definitely want to do if you are blocking 1st-party scripts. As such, the <noscript> tag will work as intended.
Not selecting this option when 1st-party scripts are blocked means the website will break misteryously in case it is meant to redirect to a scriptless version.
settingsUpdateIcon=Do not change the toolbar icon updateIconHelp=By default, the extension will change its icon based on how many requests are blocked on the selected page.
Selecting this option will prevent ηMatrix from changing its icon.
When the page does not have requests (e.g. the extension‘s dashboard) the icon will still be changed to the “disabled” state.
resolveCnameLabel=Resolve CNAME records resolveCnameHelp=When resolving an address with DNS, some websites use a CNAME record to redirect the resolution to a different address than the one asked for by the user.
This mechanism has legitimate uses and is convenient in a number of cases, but it can also be abused by unscrupolous criminals by “hiding” (cloaking) the address of a tracker behind a legitimate address.
When this setting is enabled, ηMatrix will query the DNS when a new address is met, resulting in it using the canonical name (CNAME) of the website.
Please note: this will break your whitelist. It is also experimental and you are recommended to toggle this option before visiting a website. Toggling it and then refreshing an already loaded page might cause strange issues right now.
