Well, yes, this new scheme would certainly not get me to stop using NoScript (I don't use an ad-blocker specifically as I don't object to ads. I do use NoScript, though, partly because I object to ads that run code on my machine).

My comment was about the two approaches in the absence of client-side defenses.

No script doesn’t block trackers though, it only blocks some classes.

NoScript blocks Javascript, which blocks the majority of trackers. It doesn't address web bugs and the like, but I deal with those separately.
