I use UBlock Origin to achieve pretty much the same behaviour as NoScript. Haven't found a reason to use NoScript since I started doing that.

Yes, once you turn on the "I am an advanced user" setting, you can fine tune script blocking in Ublock Origin. It's called dynamic filtering. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering:-quick-guide https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering:-qu...

I've used NoScript for quite a while, and was sad to let it go when I switched to Quantum in Beta a while back. I tried using uMatrix, which is from the same folks that made uBlock Origin, and I have to say I'm supperr happy with it. It applies the same heuristics that I usually apply manually (namely, allow 1st-party scripts automatically, allow 3rd-party manually as required). I'm going to install NoScript when the WebExt version comes out, mainly for the excellent XSS/Canvas/misc. support. It remains to be seen which I'll use for blocking scripts, but I'm glad to have options.

I use UBlock on mobile hardware where I want more aggressive filtering and Ghostery on the desktop. Both work in FF 57. I used NoScript in Chrome for many years and for a long time it worked very well, but the web evolved and I found myself forever wading through blocked scripts and unblocking or disabling NoScript altogether to get sites to function properly.

I use also UBlock Origin and there is really clear difference. With NoScript you can Browse most of the Sites without Javascript-Gimmicks like Parallax-News-Scrolling (for example Bloomberg) or On-Site-Embeded-Advertisemet (no JS no Ads). UBlock is nice but without NoScript it is not good enough for my personal taste.

There's a lot of overlap, but uMatrix doesn't replace NoScript. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15730800 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15730800
