I just use uBlock Origin with waterfox browser.

people often miss that ublock origin also works on mobile firefox and variants. so, that too.

Blockbear hasn’t been updated in 7 years. Is it still relevant?

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…

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.

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  • No longer maintained, the last release was Sept 2019 except for a one-off patch to fix a vulnerability.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:
