I don't think they are comparable. I run both. NoScript is a security suite – besides blocking java, webgl, flash, silverlight, javascript, etc – it has additional defenses against XSS, ABE, clickjacking etc. uBlock was to my knowledge never developed to securely stop scripts and deter drive-by attacks etc. It should be used for adblocking, not for security.

I switched to google chrome (Version 54.0.2840.98 (64-bit) today and was sad when I couldn't find Noscript on chrome extensions store. But then I found uMatrix (by the author of ublock origin). I think uMatrix is almost close to Noscript security suite (no xss, abe, clickjack protection though). But I still have firefox (this latest update) running side. I wish firefox would hardcode ublock origin + noscript into its core. So users can have all the privacy and safety by default. Most people in my town don't even understand what plugins are. But I try to install these two plugins for anyone who asks me for help. I also educate them by talking about these security techniques.
