uMatrix, while having a bit of a dense UI, is what I prefer as well. I installed a pi-hole in my home network about a week ago, and it survived less than a week. My wife likes using sites like eBates when she shops online, and it redirects her through a random sequence of tracking sites before landing on a site like the Gap. It caused all sorts of problems for her, as those sites were being blocked. If I was going to keep the pi-hole running, I would have had to constantly be adding white list entries. Or, I could have manually created a black list from scratch. I was not interested in doing either. I found that dropping a handful of domains in uMatrix got rid of most ads (but not tracking), and that was good enough for my uses.
