Plenty of great suggestions already, and I echo most of them, but I'm going to add two that I haven't see mentioned:
Luminous for blocking specific JavaScript events and event handlers (I use it mainly for reducing the effectiveness of session recording).
uMatrix for blocking site (anti)features such as scripts, cookies, media, XHR, etc on a per-domain per-site basis.
Sadly, it seems they're both no longer being developed, but they still work fine for the time being. I've also been thinking of picking up the Luminous codebase in the future.
As far as I understand, Luminous doesn't block anything (at least not by default), right? It is only to show javascript events? Which events do you block?
I block mousemove, touchmove and scroll, and other events which are basically these but with a different name.
