Keep uMatrix dialog open

madduck opened this issue · comments

It's awesome that I can keep the uMatrix dialog open while a page loads and watch in real-time what happens. But when I interact with a website by mouse or keyboard, it closes. Unfortunately, often things happen so quickly between redirects that I can't get it to open fast enough to see e.g. why a payment would have failed.

Would it be possible to add an option to keep the dialog open, or maybe detach it into its own window somehow?

That's a difficult one, extensions run inside the browser and the drop-down window is affected
by the focus (that's why your interactions cause it to close).

It's not possible, the browser controls the popup panel, uMatrix just renders in it using HTML/CSS/JS.

Just bring the popup panel from with the logger, this one is fully controlled by uMatrix: https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/wiki/How-to-access-the-popup-panel-when-there-is-no-toolbar.

Yes, the logger stays on when out of focus.
