Prerequisites

• I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue
  • Your issue may already be reported.
  • I also searched the existing issues at https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/issues
• This is not a support issue or a question
  • Support issues and questions are handled at /r/uMatrix
• I tried to reproduce the issue when...
  • uMatrix is the only extension
  • uMatrix with default lists/settings
  • using a new, unmodified browser profile
• I am running the latest version of uMatrix
• I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I report is not a normal behavior
• I used the logger to rule out that the issue is caused by my ruleset

Description

Blocked iframes get replaced with a placeholder, but blocked frames (in a frameset) just display a white page. The (obsolete) <noframes> element is not displayed either, even if 1st-party-frames are blocked too.

A specific URL where the issue occurs

http://spth.de/

Steps to Reproduce

1. make sure some frames are blocked
2. navigate to a website that uses frames, e.g. http://spth.de (uses 3rd party frame)
3. instead of a placeholder, nothing is displayed

I believe this always has been the case with Firefox, Chromium does display a placeholder of its own.

There sure is no rush, but it'd be great if this could be addressed sometimes, because it is quite distracting if you don't know why you're getting a white screen (javascript req'd? network error? page broken?) Showing the umatrix-iframe-placeholder would probably be the best way forward, since there may be other frames that have loaded (so `<noframes>` won't make sense), and you can easily open the frame in a new window then. also, I don't know how often a `<noframes>` tag is used.
