      Umatrix is great, you can configure it to automatically allow first party javascript, and if sites still dont work eneable bits until they do them lock those settings so the same bits will be enabled next time you’re on that site.

      Not useless. I don’t use JS. Yeah. Maybe 1/10 websites you have to skip.
