>there are now "extensions" that actually REMOVE functionality rather than add it
Is there any defense for this?

yes
The functionality makes the user experience worse.

I have an extension that provides various buttons for turning off javascript, css, flash, animated gifs, etc. I use those buttons every day because of retarded web-site developers who can't design sites worth shit.

Enjoy your trackers and proprietary Javascript, also don't bother making a thread if you are so tech-iliterate you cannot understand how uMatrix works.
The extension adds functionality. It gives you the choice in what you allow to run on your computer. It also informs you of what websites you're connecting to and what content they're serving up.

Yes, it removes functionality of third party shit. Just how the web was intended. Now you don;t have to worry about other domains knowing what you do. I wouldn't use those defaults though.

umatrix is a pain in the ass to set up, and unless you only use a few websites, it breaks god damn every one you go to every single time.
its benefits are outweighed by its negatives in my opinion.
