I was able to get the site functioning with uMatrix still operating by using the vertical three dot menu and disabling referer spoofing. Even then it wasn't clear how to get to the content, since all that shows is a huge map with a timeline of events.

Apologies for this — the website features some pretty heavy WebGL visualizations. I've pushed an updated version with more aggressive code-splitting and a <noscript /> version of the website. If you'd like, try it out and let me know if it works any better.
