Neither uBlock or uMatrix blanket disable JavaScript.

but being able to disable it is the whole point of installing it and it does disable third-party by default.
I know they have the capability to block scripts, but this is the first time I'm hearing that blocking all javascript on all websites is the primary purpose of both uBlock and uMatrix.

Their strength is in selective and goal-oriented blocking, in a way that doesn't break nearly every website by default.

My uMatrix config does :P
