I agree so much. I cannot recommend umatrix highly enough. It has put me completely back in control of what sites can and can't do. I block everything by default except for first-party CSS and images (e.g. *.ycombinator.com when I visit news.ycombinator). It's great, and not at all as bothersome as I thought.

No more HTML5 pop-ups, deceptive ads, no more auto loading videos, no more sneaky audio, no more weird javascript that slows my browser to a crawl, no more tracking.

Honestly people, give it a shot. It's amazing.
