Anyone else having trouble with McAfee Web Gateway blocking one of ITA's JavaScript files? (Specifically, http://matrix.itasoftware.com/js/sites/matrix/site.js)

I have to put in a request every few months to get corporate IT at one of my clients to put this on their whitelist (since McAfee "times out" everything on their whitelist periodically).

If everyone on flyer talk does this, maybe we can get it back!

They are stating that "as of December 2011, virtually all functionality has been replicated with the new interface, and the older version is no longer available."

Lets put together a list of the things missing, tabbed browsing, fast interface, etc and sticky this post!
RIP Matrix1 I've just sent an email to google
I really don't know which software to use now

What do you guys think is the best replacement for matrix1 that isn't matrix2? I tried Hipmunk and it's just jarring to use...

No comment for the slowness / loss of efficiency, eh?

With a handle like ITAhacker, I'm going to go out on a limb and bet that you don't like it either!

One more:
Please bring back the comments field when sending an itinerary to someone else. I have used that option often.

The Remove advanced routing codes / Advanced routing codes box confusing, please help with this new added step

EWR :: co / f bc=t
Does not give me Continental flights in 'T'. I was shown flights on AA, DL, US, B6, etc. and CO fare in M

In Matrix1, you could specify same-day trip and it was distinct from 0-night trip. Is this functionality gone?

There's this link intended for Blackberry users but which works on other platforms as well. http://bbmatrix.itasoftware.com
Still much prefer the old interface however and have written Google. It was also much more useful with screen reading programs for the blind,

Yes, this new feature is awesome! I have mixed feelings about matrix1 - it was certainly very helpful and I liked it's simple design, but the new matrix fits my needs better. Thought they should fix it the interface for ipads, it's a nightmare!

I see a link on matrix.itasoftware.com that says "access the original version" and that takes me to matrix1.itasoftware.com.

Is this the version everyone is saying has vanished? Maybe it's back now. Don't know enough about matrix1 v matrix2, but that's what I see.
