So, I don't know about setting rules beforehand that work very well universally, but what I personally think is the better method is to just slowly build up your ruleset as you use it every day. I don't think lots of people know how to do this so here it is: 1) Upon using a website you frequent, enable one root at a time until it functions properly. (or you can do the more granular per grid block enable) 2) Click umatrix, then click at the top where it says "uMatrix $ver" which will take you to the dashboard. 3) In the dashboard click on "my rules" 4) on the right click the "commit" button. What this does is commit your changes to the permanent ruleset and websites you frequent will start to "just work". A word of warning, if you blindly commit after browsing for a while when you may have done some temporary allows on random websites, those will be commited too. So I suggest either reviewing the commits first (always a good idea) and deselecting the ones you don't want, or having a new session for each of your frequented websites that you then commit from. I have been planning to write up a tutorial on things like this for family and friends, maybe I'll post it to show hn.
