uMatrix is great for blacklisting by default and only enabling as needed for website core operations.

Also has a "don't filter on this domain" switch for things like bank sites and other fragile ops.

uMatrix is definitely great for this. I consider it a request firewall at browser level. And it works very well at blocking everything (JS, CSS, image, any type of request really) by default, should you wish to do so.

It also allows blocking webworkers which mining sites tend to rely on.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Safari on Mac makes it pretty easy. Also the built-in reading mode means 95% of sites that block content with an overlay are bypassed with one click.

NoScript on Firefox and Scriptsafe[0] on Chrome.

NoScript is what I've always used. It defaults all javascript to be off and you can enable it permanently or temporarily per domain.
