I have uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger. Would uMatrix replace those?

If you want uMatrix like features in uBlock Origin, go to settings and just click "I am an advanced user".

The dynamic filtering matrix should be available after that.

Granted the defaults are not as strict as uMatrix, it's a good middle ground.

Just enabling dynamic filtering doesn't do anything as far as blocking is concerned. You'll still have to set up how you want to handle it.

I would recommend "Medium mode"[1] as defined in the uBlock wiki.

Same here. I have zero desire to do any sort of manual configuration any time I visit a new website. Blocking third-party cookies will eliminate like 90% of tracking and uBlock origin and Privacy Badger handle a significant percentage of the rest.
