uBlock Origin works best on Firefox

uBlock Origin has an advanced mode (Dynamic filtering) that allows most of the config uMatrix allowed.

I'm pretty comfortable with uMatrix and for whatever reason the uBlock filtering UX just completely flummoxes me.

I don't recommend using dynamic filters because they completely override any matching static filters. Makes the point of filter lists useless, if uBo had a way to set dynamic filters to a lower priority than static they might actually be useful. At the moment the only way I found to replicate uMatrix was to use static filters to block by default on a per domain basis and whitelist domains per request type. It is a lot more work so I only do so for sites with user generated content (e.g. hn or reddit) that have links to who knows where that you might want to prevent from loading.

Still not everything, and way harder to use.
