I was wondering why uBlock is not enough since you can block Javascript globally and re-enable per site. AI's answer:

Only things uBlock doesn’t replicate:

NoScript’s anti-XSS and anti-clickjacking heuristics (uBlock just blocks the sources, not sanitize payloads).

NoScript’s control over other active content types (e.g., WebGL, media codecs, etc).



It's also a lot better UI -- it doesn't look like it's nearly as easy to see a drop down list of JS and selectively enable as NS allows.
