When you get a spare half hour to figure it out well enough, add the uMatrix extension to your browser. It is like an old-school software firewall, except it is for your browser.

There is a learning curve, but it's fine once you get up to speed. It's a bit like NoScript, but on steroids.

Seconded! I find uMatrix terribly unintuitive, but once I figured it out it's my most crucial Chrome extension other than uBlock (and Hacker News Enhancement Suite, perhaps).
