Is there a replacement for uMatrix tho? I still use it because I haven’t found another extension that allows me to disable cookies, JS, and iframes per domain as easily as uMatrix does. And despite being unmaintained since 2019 it still works surprisingly well.

Cookies (3rd and 1st party) can be disabled per site from your browser settings in any modern browser.

JS can be disabled per site using uBlock origin for sure, and I'm pretty sure you can disable iframes as well

I admit I've never used uMatrix, but from what I know ublock is the successor of the project (and is considered the state-of-the-art adblocking software), so I'd assume you can do everything uMatrix can and more.

I suggest looking up some tutorials for uBlock to get the grasp of the possibility of the software
