uMatrix browser extension. It has been marked archived by Gorhill, last release is two years old, you are supposed to just use uBlock [Origin]. However, it still (luckily) works fine and is exactly what I want. (Sure, I won’t install this for my parents.) The GUI to simply choose what you want the site to be allowed to do is perfect.
Specifically, uBlock is mainly for blocking according to a predefined list of patterns of known malicious content, whereas uMatrix is for blocking all potentially-malicious content and selectively allowing through some kinds of content from domains the user has chosen to trust.
I wonder if Gorhill could have avoided a lot of the nonsense bug reports by making uMatrix default to allowing everything, as if it was not installed at all.

Used it and it was good, as I remember. Later switched to uBlock Origin because it presumably uses less resources and does the job.
They have different purposes. I use both.
