Firefox with uBlock Origin is wonderful. I've found that also adding NoScript is very handy, even though it can sometimes be annoying. In general, anything that requires I play "Javascript Roulette" is unlikely to be worth wasting my time on. In general, the author's approach resembles mine with a few detail differences, and I never got onto Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, etc. in the first place. I'm not completely de-Googled (unrooted Android phone here), but I do keep them at arm's length. Windows 10 is such a non-starter for me that when I bought a new laptop last year, before I even powered it up the first time I yanked out the SSD, replaced it with a bigger one, and then loaded Xubuntu on it.

I installed noscript for a bit, but I found it better to leave js enabled. If a site really misbehaves I can disable js with ubo. No need for another plugin.

  What you want is to use uMatrix, select the asterisk button next to the domain, disable scripts but allow 1st party scripts. with this little change, you automatically block 99% of trackers (which run from the tracker's domain) and enjoy mostly functional websites. When needed, just open uMatrix, and allow scripts either globally or per domain, to get client side integrations to work. another benefit is to disable iframes globally. uMatrix replace them with a link to the iframe content, which is what you really want 99% of the time you want an iframe (which is otherwise mostly used for ads) * uMatrix is from the same author of UBO. and it is the perfect sweet spot between UBO and noScript, for advanced users.
