...mostly yes, at least initially. I use uMatrix and NoScript and its a matter of configuring/'training' them over such that most browsing over a few days/weeks becomes quite fantastic.

That said, one has to get used to making those configs every time a new site is browsed (or a previous site changes significantly what it does), but really, for some of us, the experience after the fact is well worth the investment, as browsing and reading become sane again.
