[Question] In Chromium browsers, how does uBlock Origin Extra relate to uMatrix? #55

Hi,

I've been trawling through the documentation but I can't find the answer to what must be a common question.

If I want to block WebSockets on Chromium browsers, will I be fine with uMatrix, or do I need to install uBlock Origin Extra, or do I need to abandon uMatrix and use uBlock Origin + uBlock Origin Extra?

Yes, uMatrix can block websocket requests, these appear in the XHR columns.

(Why not just open uMatrix's logger and try using a websocket demo to find out?)
