It's certainly not that bad if you have uMatrix to do it with, but I haven't found a reasonable way to do it on mobile. uMatrix does work on Firefox Mobile but the UI is only semi functional.
Using Firefox Add-Ons on a "smartphone" sucks because one has to access every Add-On interface via an Extensions menu.
In that sense _all_ Add-Ons are only semi-functional.
I use multiple layers: uMatrix + NetGuard + Nebulo "DNS Rules", at the least. Thus I have at least three opportunities where I can block lookups for and requests to Google domains.
Having tried both, IMHO they do not do exactly the same thing. One is pattern-based, the other is host-based. As such, one can use them together, simultaneously.
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.
Not quite the same (I love uMatrix UI), but advanced mode in uBO is similar. It lacks filtering by data type (css, js, images, fonts,...) per domain, but it does resolve domains to their primary domain, revealing where they are hosted. A huge kudos to gorhill for both of these!
Yup that's what I use as well. With whatever the name of the extension that makes allowing cookies a whitelist thing too, and PrivacyBadger/Decentraleyes.
Also, deleting everything when Firefox closes. It's a little annoying to re-login to everything every day, but again, they are banking on this inconvenience to fuck you over and I refuse to let them win. It becomes part of the routine easily enough.
