    Just use uBlock Origin and avoid Google chrome and you are good.

      uBlock origin uses blacklists, so it’s not perfect. I use uMatrix, so I have fine-grained control, and by default javascript and cookies are disabled, I only enable them for some domains if needed. you could also just block all JS…

        uMatrix

        • No longer maintained, the last release was Sept 2019 except for a one-off patch to fix a vulnerability.
        • Everything uMatrix did can be covered by prefs or other extensions: use uBlock Origin for any content blocking.

          1. that’s not ideal but it does the job and no other extension is so good.

          2 no, umatrix is unique. uMatrix has this:

          uBlock origin has this in ‘advanced’ mode:

        Just note that uBlock has multiple types of lists. You can so enable additional block lists like for privacy purposes. Etc.

        A lot of sites depend on js too bad, disabling js all together will most likely cause you a lot of headaches.

          yes, but they are all blacklists, it’s allow by default.

          I don’t have that many problems. the big issues are when you try to login and stuff, not just view content.
