This is something i've used since it came out. If anyone wants any tips on it or how to use it with uBlock or Decentraleyes, let me know.

Yup, uBlock origin + uMatrix + Decentralyes is a great combination. Some other good additions are addons to block canvas, automatically delete cookies, and switch user agents.

I haven't had to deal with it much since switching to brave and just turning off scripts at home. Any insight for using this on a custom built at a fortune 100 company?

I generally allow 1st party CSS and images on the global scope and work from there. If you don't like micro managing you should probably also allow 1st party scripts but I don't trust most big sites not to sell their tracking so I don't.

For most users uBlock origin is enough. uMatrix is for those who want even more control over their browser.

Also, repeated PSA: Don't use adBlock plus or uBlock (not origin) anymore, they are now in the hands of spammers.

Don't use adBlock plus or uBlock (not origin) anymore,

Gotta be careful with your open source shit. Vultures will prey and get you to use their version with name alone

While you are right, closed source is worse since you can't even know what it's doing.

Have you compiled android? Even the small distros are 3 million lines of code. Completely separate I work on a 4-5 million line codebase where security threats pop up daily. That code is completely open source.

Do you trust some Europeans that change all your bits, or do you trust some well paid lazy engineers who are just waiting for the next breach?
