That's because you haven't read the wiki you twat.
Per default umatrix uses a blacklist.
This isn't the most efficient way to protect yourself and you know it since you tried to block the script section globally.
But when in the interface of umatrix per default you block the actual page you are on.
To block globally you need to either add this
* * * block
* * cookie block
* * frame block
* * other block
* * plugin block
* * script block
* * xhr block
Or you go in the umatrix interface select the place where the domain name is and then select *
When selected you make global rules thus it applies on every page.

by default, it runs some scripts, you have to change the default settings to block everything by default, you can leave basic things like images and css on as they are to my knowledge, harmless.

I often wonder how many people understand the concept of those scopes, and then I don't, because fuck the normies they deserve their poz.

when i installed it i selected * and set it to disallow scripts, am i safe?

You're never safe.
That said if you saved the setting (it's temporary unless you click the save button after), it'll block all scripts except those you've whitelisted.

I've noticed uMatrix and NoScript block scripts differently.
uMatrix seems to ignore '' tags.
NoScript has more sophisticated blocking mechanism, like it can block XSS and has better protection against CSRF. So it's better to use both I guess.
What really would be great is an ability to compile browser without javascript support at all, but webkit/chromium shit will never allow that.

Umatrix is shit, use noscript.

uMatrix does NOT block inline scripts. It also doesn't block in-line CSS or embedded images.
uMatrix only blocks linked resources. For script control, use another addon or the built-in browser settings.
For resource control in Firefox based browsers, I still recommend RequestPolicy next to uMatrix, because it allows protocol/port level control.
