Let me illustrate my problem with a little image of the youtube homepage (top image is with both activated, bottom is with only uMatrix):

Did the "state of sexual intercourse" need to degrade to a certain level in order for condoms to be necessary?

No, because the risks have always been around and thus predated condoms. Still sad and worthy of improving, if possible.




I dont have that issue:

But I still use noscript with umatrix, so it might be a noscript surrogate "fixing my flow.". Do you have "hide placeholders" selected in umatrix?

Risks have always been around.


No, I don't want the "Collapse placeholder of blocked elements" uMatrix option activated because then, if a website embeds e.g. youtube videos or soundcloud songs I have no visual cue of their existence, whereas, if the option is disabled, I see it greyed out with a link that I can click to watch it in a separate window. I feel like our discussion is at this point a clash of personal preferences and would not like to continue. Have a nice day :)
