Seconded uBlock Origin, the web is unusable without it. I moved however from NoScript to uMatrix, which can block with more granularity, but needs to be either kept default off or "trained" because its factory settings are very strict and could block a lot of necessary stuff (ie, don't install it to non technical users).

You can replicate NoScript and even uMatrix inside uBlock Origin now (uMatrix is even officially deprecated by uBlock Origin now)

uBO gives a lot of flexibility and a traditional "no js" is absolutely possible (see https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/wiki/Blocking-...). You then select which source is authorized to push crap at your browser

I like NoScript's UI. I've never tried uMatrix or uBo's more complex modes, but every time I see screenshots like in the article you linked, my head spins. So I stick with NoScript because I understand it. Compare: https://noscript.net/noscript/ss0.png

No knock on uBo! Just explaining why I stick with NoScript :)
