Using uMatrix really raised my awareness of how bad things are - spyTech is utterly everywhere. I still take the time to micromanage my matrix every time I encounter a new site and it’s ridiculous how long it can take to get a random infested page back to an acceptable level of usability.

Me too. I prefer micromanaging what a site gets access to. It's sadly not a great solution for anyone who isn't technical and somewhat persnickety.
uMatrix is better than nothing but I want more micromanagement. I want to be able to block on a per script basis because some sites will load 49 scripts from some other domain and only 1 or 2 will actually be needed to make the page work properly.
agree, I'd love to see uMatrix get more sophisticated.. there are already a lot of sites that simply cannot be fixed
