To allow disallow, click the smaller rectangles to the left, on mouse over they are grey and red squares.

>uMatrix lets me see how many resources of what type were loaded from that domain.

uBlock Origin > Logger (its an icon)

> enable javascript for just one third-party host

Red button (with more enabled) disables a specific resource in a nested-list UI very similar to uMatrix AFAIR.

Yes, I phrased that one badly. I meant to ask: how do I enable just javascript for a host, rather than also enabling css/img/frames? But that's more of an academic question since if you trust a domain to run javascript, you'll surely also load css and img from that domain.

Red button (with more enabled) disables a specific resource

I don't see it. Red button disables a specific domain for as far as I can see. It doesn't disable just one type of resource from that domain.

in a nested-list UI very similar to uMatrix

It seems this is the problem: uMatrix is most emphatically not a nested-list UI: it is an authorization matrix UI. It seems that UBO does try to incorporate some of uMatrix' features back into it, but in the basis it's still a one-dimensional blocklist. That's just not good enough for how I browse the web in safety.
