uMatrix, although it doesn't have the various anti-XSS protections of NoScript. But its UI is great, much better than NS IMHO, and it's not limited to script blocking.

The dev build support specifically blocking web workers, typically used by cryptominers. So at this point I think it will be a good idea to block web workers by default everywhere, and enable only if a trusted site needs them.
