Maybe, but the UX is so terrible that I never figured out how to use uBO to replace uMatrix. I always use both: uBO for ads and DOM elements filtering and uMatrix for JavaScript, frames, cookies, anything in the columns of its UI.
Basically uMatrix is so donor to use that anybody can use it. The equivalent uBO section is so complicated that I feel I need to take a master degree in that subject.
You would be surprised how many people are completely overwhelmed by the choices uMatrix offers. Lots of people out there, that don't even know what a website can consist of, let alone what it means to block this or that, or have the awareness that they did block something, or the patience to properly unblock the minimum amount of shit necessary to use the website. For many people any effort at all makes them surrender to the global spyware.
