What Hacker News says
4 sourcesRaymond Hill has stopped developing uMatrix and also stopped accepting PRs because it's currently too much work for him [1]. So be aware that bugs will probably not be fixed.
That being said, I'm a very happy uMatrix user on Firefox.

In Google Removed ClearURLs Extension from Chrome Web StoreIt hadn't had a stable release for a year at the point when the repo was archived, because it's more-or-less feature-complete and has no major bugs. 90% of the open github issues [1] were enhancement or documentation requests.
No updates is not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes things work well enough to leave alone.

In Cover Your TracksThere is a comment from @gorhill saying:
> Anyway, as it is, I've archived uMatrix's repo, I can't and won't be spending any more time on this project, and neither on all such issues [linking to all issues closed as invalid].
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uMatrix-issues/issues/291#is...
So it's really confirmed then. Very sad news.
Edit: there's also a glimmer of hope:
> Whoever is free to fork under a new name -- I may re-open and resume development in some future if ever I feel for it.
In uMatrix has been archived
