You could port uMatrix to webkit2gtk, or pay somebody to do it for you.
If you haven't done so yet, you could also have a look at wyebadblock.

This is how that page (containing Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager) 
looks in surf here:

While Web itself sucks[1], and surf is a compromise between a suckless shell 
and an engine that sucks (Webkit) for a medium that sucks (HTML+CSS+JS), I find 
that it is unfortunately not satisfactory yet from a privacy-respecting 
standpoint, at least until it supports plugins such as uMatrix which block Ads 
and various other privacy-intruding technologies. Simple filtering of URLs 
just isn't enough.

Until such a moment, I'm using ungoogled-chromium[2] for everyday use.

Hi Robert,

* Robert Winkler  [2022-04-29 09:48]:

However, some Web Pages do not work at all.

Example: 
just produces a white page.


Works fine here with libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev version 2.36.1-1+b1 from 
Debian unstable and surf from git.


Cheers Jochen

[dev][surf] Compatibility: "empty" wep pages

[Robert Winkler]

Hi, surf is up to now the best browser I found for weak machines such as the 
Raspberry Pi 0W, with respect to compatibility and customisability (link
hints, full keyboard control).

The support of Javascript pages is fair.

However, some Web Pages do not work at all.

Example: 
just produces a white page.

Is there anything, I can do for improving the compatibility?

Obviously, writing the responsible Web Designers for reprogramming their 
pages is not realistic.

Of course, ideally all Web Pages should be functional. 
Otherwise one still has to use the sucking Chromium or Firefox.

Best, Robert
