Ublock [1] and Noscript [2] are must have. you could also checkout Privacy Badger [3].
If you use arkenfox user.js [4] you could also use I still don't care about cookies [5]
No script is redundant with ublock origin on advanced mode.
Would you please let me know how do i get the same "all scripts are blocked" and allowlist specific domains only like in noscript? As far as i know ublock enable/disable javascript for whole website not subdomains. I could be wrong. And noscript have xss protection.
I have used noscript for a long time but after trying umatrix (from the ublock origin developer) I doubt I'm going back since this one feels more powerful. Maybe you want to give that one a try 🙂. I use it alongside ublock.
as far as i know umatrix is unmaintained. so the default ublock + noscript seems the best combination.
Umatrix became unmaintained because ublock origin can handle most of its use cases. You just need to run Ublock origin in medium or hard mode. More info ca he found on wiki: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium-mode
