You should check out uMatrix to get even more fine grained control over sites.

I usually allow images on every page, that's it. Some need CSS, some need iframes, and a small subset of websites I visit are actual webapps that need javascript.

I love uMatrix but development on it has stopped so it won't receive bug fixes and it will probably stop working someday. I don't think I would recommend new users start using it.

Yes true, but it's still working mostly and I don't have a real alternative.

I want to switch to uBlock's Advanced mode which seems to do similar things, but I haven't yet.

The UI is much less clear on what is blocked or not compared to uMatrix. I definitely prefer the latter.
