It's not like there isn't really a solution to this. You don't really need NoScript if you can learn how to use ublock origin in advanced mode.

I've never tried the uBO script blocker, but NoScript's UI is really nice for performing common tasks related to blocking JS. Stuff like allowing temporary permissions per domain, or allowing all on the current tab. Does uBO have similar features?

  You can try the brave browser on Android. Disabling and enabling js temporarily is easy. Even better, enabling js on a website in private mode does not persist. So you can disable all js by default, enable it on trusted sites via 1 click easy to use UI, and enable anywhere in private mode without worrying about forgetting to disable it later.

    > enable it on trusted sites via 1 click easy to use UI Does this just enable all scripts loaded by that site, or does it allow filtering by domain the scripts themselves are loaded from? E.g. when browsing site.com you want to allow site.com (and often sitestatic.com or something), but still not allow doubleclick.net even though it's loaded by the same page.

  Yes, in fact ublock origin has a very advanced global/local case where you can block resources globally or block resources locally and temporarily if you really want. It's generally better to use ublock origin on it's own than to use ublock origin with umatrix or ublock with noscript. Mainly because ublock origin comes wiht neutralising anti-adblock scripts that would get blocked if you combine it with a separate script blocker. https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/706xrr/umatrix_vs_ublock_origin_medium_blocking_mode/dn1goxr/ https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/706xrr/umatrix_vs_... Here is a good tutorial on how to use ublock origin in advanced mode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lisQQmWQkY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lisQQmWQkY

You might not need an addon at all; Firefox on both desktop and Android now includes a pretty capable ad/tracking blocker right out of the box. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Privacy/Tracking_Protection https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Pri... for details.
