I use uMatrix. It allows me to block all third party scripts by default, easily unblock them one by one if I need to, and save my changes for sites I visit often.

And well upwards of 95% of all Web users (and I'm willing to bet closer to 99%) ... will not or can not use such tools.

(I support several. Tuning sites where uMatrix or even uBlock breaks stuff is a constant chore.)

Yes, many people can't or won't use uMatrix. And yes, it's a chore to tune sites. But we live in a digital jungle, it's program or be programmed.
An answer to a systematic and institutional abuse relying on individual actions which the overwhelming majority of the population will not or can not undertake ... is inherently unjust.

I use uMatrix. I appreciate the hell out of uMatrix. uMatrix is not the solution to the present level of abusive dark Web patterns.
