My experience with uMatrix: most sites work right away. Others require fiddling with the matrix of media, script, xhr, frames and the third parties serving them. After a while it's easy to remember which ones must be temporary enabled and which ones don't. Sites with videos are a little more difficult. Sites with payments require care. I whitelist the minimum set of scripts that make the sites I use often work. There are usually many scripts that can be left out. If everything fails and it's a one shot site, I start Chrome.

It's fine. Sometimes I get annoyed by websites which require JavaScript to show static text (apparently HTML is too difficult?) or which block me with a 'please unblock challenges.cloudflare.com to proceed' (that second one seriously pisses me off when I see it on, for example, the website of the Belgian railways), but by and large I'm fine with just saying 'if it breaks I don't need it'. But I handle my e-mail with isync, mu, and mu4e; and as far as I understand e-mail tends to be a sticking point for those who care for their digital rights. I also don't have Xitter or Facebook or any of that nonsense.

If there's one thing I don't like its the fact that NoScript doesn't integrate with Multi-Account Containers. It would be neat if instead of having to temporarily allow GitHub JavaScript and re-disable it when I'm done; I could just allow GH JS in a GitHub or Microsoft container and it only being enabled in that container.

I use LibreWolf at work, and I exempt most internal sites from aggressive anti-tracking stuff, but otherwise it works fine.
