I highly recommend using uMatrix[1][2] if you're very privacy-conscious. It's the full-blown everything-at-your-fingertips console.

By default, it blocks third-party scripts/cookies/XHRs/frames (with an additional explicit blacklist). You then manually whitelist on a matrix which types of requests from which domains you want to allow. Your preferences are saved.

It is a bit annoying the first time you visit any new domain, because you need to go through a bootstrapping whitelist process to make it work. After a while I find I do it almost automatically though.

I use it in conjunction with uBlock Origin and Disconnect, and it still catches the vast majority of things. As a nice side-effect, I find I keep pretty up-to-date with new SAAS companies coming out!
