This describes uMatrix perfectly. I didn't understand a single thing after installing it, but one day, I spent 20 mins reading the wiki on Github and then understood what to use each tool for.
I hope this isn't due to browser vendors making things difficult, but it wouldn't surprise me. Since the concerns are similar, it would be great if there was a way to marry the two. uBlock - advanced interface mode or something. Just a thought, not a feature request.
Thank you Gorhill for all your work. Sad to see it go, I actually can't fathom how I'll surf the web without it.
