uMatrix is a replacement extension from the creator, and compatible with, uBlock. uMatrix migrated to Quantum leveraging the existing Chrome codebase already about a month ago: https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix Some learning curve is required compared to NoScript since uMatrix allows even finer grained control (not just scripts, but images, cookies, iframes and XHR as well), but I personally migrated about a year ago successfully. Very happy with uMatrix so far with the latest Firefox.

To add some important points: > uMatrix is a replacement extension from the creator, and compatible with, uBlock. To avoid any confusion, I think the parent means, 'from the creator of ... uBlock'. uMatrix is not by the creator of NoScript. Also, blocking just JavaScript is quicker and easier in uMatrix (at least easier than the current NoScript; I don't know about the upcoming version). The UI is far more efficient, and you configure it by origin/remote pairs (e.g., on foo.example.com allow googleapis.com; on other example.com hosts, block it; on example.org allow it everywhere). But NoScript does far more than block JavaScript; it's a sophisticated firewall, in some ways. Look through the options menus and lookup the features, such as ABE; it's impressive. uMatrix doesn't replace much of that functionality.

  Thank you, dropped an of there indeed. For me personally, #1 reason for using NoScript was controlling which domains can execute JS. uMatrix delivers that superbly, and more. Sadly, ever since NoScript started pushing malware[1] to users with every update, I lost all confidence with the author for securing my browsing experience.
