Subject: bug#74244: uMatrix add-on available in gnuzilla.gnu.org comes with non-free data for pratical use

Hello, amazing day to y'all. After installing uMatrix through
gnuzilla.gnu.org and going to the add-on's preferences I've noticed that
it comes with non-free hosts file (non-commercial use only) enabled by
default, meant to block e.g. trackers, so these serve practical purpose
and therefore it is ethically required that they be free according to
GNU philosophy.

nuTensor, an uMatrix fork also available in gnuzilla.gnu.org, also has
non-free hosts files as far as I've checked, not sure if these were
brought over from my uMatrix installation (but I've already uninstalled
uMatrix due to the freedom issues, so maybe the non-free hosts files are
present in nuTensor proper rather than being brought over from the
uMatrix installation)

An add-on similar to uMatrix but simpler and without the freedom issues
seems to be https://gnuzilla.gnu.org/extension.php?id=2761197

Thank you for listening.
