... And then you setup uBlock Origin, block 3rd party and resist fingerprint, and no single website will ever work correctly again.

uBO by itself really shouldn't break anything.

Btw, if a website does not work for you, try to archive it at archive.org, and see if you can view it that way. Some of the interactive elements work usually, but of course the website will become dumber, but at least you can read it.

Yes by itself it hardly breaks anything, but blocking 3rd party scripts and frames usually does. It's no big deal, you can whitelist what is needed.
