I've used a few solutions: privoxy, noscript, uMatrix and now uBlock origin. The later was a little confusing when I started using it, but now I get it and love it. A very good thing is that most websites use external javascript to implement the most annoying "features" like asking for consent, tracking, autoplay and diverse pop-up junk. Also it includes the "cosmetic filtering" that allows me to block html elements by name, very useful for subscription requests. Only when I browse in other people's computer, I'm reminded how screwed the web really is.
