I really like uMatrix, but I don't want to spend my time tweaking every page I visit before I can use it, that's why I compromise with uBlock Origin. uMatrix is safer but impractical for most people.

I'd be happier if Firefox itself asked for permission before allowing web servers an websockets, but even this wouldn't be terribly helpful, as any authorized website (like agar.io) could then scan you.

I actually find uBlock superior in that it's easier to blacklist/whitelist specific scripts. E.g. you can more easily blacklist ad scripts while leaving relatively harmless 3rd-party scripts running like jQuery.
