A more precise and effective strategy is to use uMatrix / uBlock Origin in hardened configurations. Example: blocking [.cm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.cm) which is the [ccTLD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_code_top-level_domain) for Cameroon. Note: you will need both lines if you allow 1st-party (`* 1st-party * allow`), as the way uMatrix works, narrow rules win over broader rules.
