           | uMatrix doesn't stop bad things from happening to you. It's
           | simply browser add-on software that can block specific types
           | of content. In this case, probably trackers or ads. Perhaps
           | the GP is attempting to maintain their privacy. We can't know
           | their motivations with certainty because they never made them
           | clear.
           | 
           | The person that put the page together might consider testing
           | whether or not it loads under uMatrix before exposing it to
           | the world.
