About "the page is still broken after I created all necessary rules"

It may happen that a page is still broken after force-reloading once you have created all the needed allow rules for it.
Here are some things to consider.
- Did you use the logger to ascertain that really nothing is blocked or modified?
- Using the logger is the first step when having trouble to un-break a site.
- Did you verify that one or more per-scope switches are also interfering?
- Keep in mind that the per-scope switches are independent of the matrix filtering switch, so stuff can still be blocked/modified when per-scope switches are enabled.
- Did you try to bypass the browser cache when you forced a reload of the page?
- Sometimes it may be necessary to tell the browser to bypass its cache.
- For example, see https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/issues/893.
- Firefox-specific: I also found that sometimes opening the broken page in a new tab fix a breakage issue.
- Did you enable matrix filtering in the behind-the-scene scope?
- If you enable matrix filtering in the behind-the-scene scope, you may suffer more obscure breakage as a result.
- As mentioned above, using the logger is key.
- Is Firefox Tracking Protection enabled?
- This can prevent uMatrix from seeing requests
- As of version 61, Firefox tracking protection will not always disable fully via the shield icon and will not always show the shield icon when removing page elements
uMatrix: Point and click matrix to filter net requests according to source, destination and type.
