As a uMatrix user, this is a pretty misleading set of statements.

Disabling JS and blocking 3rd parties breaks -- and I mean completely, unusably, breaks -- a ton of websites. It's rare I run across a site these days that is strictly 1st party and has nothing else going on. I can't even order a goddamn pizza without enabling four different 3rd party domains.

Sure, you can save your preferences in uMatrix, but when the website updates you're back at square one, or worse, you're overly permissive.

Worst of all, I often have to completely turn off uMatrix for some sites.

While the intent is good, I honestly cannot recommend this approach anymore. It just sucks.
