NoScript and uBlock Origin are what I use. My two must-have extensions for any browser I regularly use.

With NoScript, I started off with everything blocked, and just stuck the extension icon into the toolbar. Whenever a site wouldn't load properly, I'd temporarily enable the JS just for that single domain, and see if that got it to work. If it didn't, I would usually poke about and see what other domains need to be unblocked. It's pretty common that you might need to unblock some CDN or a 'static' subdomain to get the site to load. If it's a website I expect to come back to, I will then switch those exemptions to permanent, but otherwise I try to avoid leaving a lot of cruft in the whitelist.

Doesn't uBo have an advanced mode that can do it without another extension?
That is entirely possible. I've been using NoScript since it first came out, so that's just more comfortable for me.
