I use ublock origin with chrome.

Do I understand correctly that the simple tool to block javascript (noscript) is not available on chrome ?

I'd like to disable javascript but the non-noscript recipes seem very complex ...

Chrome allows you to enable/disable javascript on a per domain basis. It's not an extension or very flexible but I've found it useful for most situations e.g whitelisting js for my bank website.

Try uMatrix. It's available on both Firefox and Chrome, and I actually like it better than NoScript.
