In opera, you can globally turn off JS, then enable it on a per-site basis (right click on page, edit site preferences, scripting).

Yep. You can do the same thing with "enable plugins" which handles Flash and other plugin-related technologies.
Opera doesn't need noscript because it's built in by default. Opera also made it extremely easy to toggle JS on/off if you want manual on demand control.
It's great for testing web sites you're developing because it takes about a second to test a page without JS, then reload and test it again with JS.
It bogggles my mind how Opera has almost no usage. Chrome, FF and others usually copy what Opera implements first. That whole "button and tabs in the title bar" look as been in Opera forever now.
I dont' remember this being very simple to use. Compare it to noscript in FF where you just click a button in the lower right corner, or upper left, and get a list of that domains JS so you can block or unblock with yet another click.
But until I can get a proper noscript implementation I won't use a browser. Right now, as far as I know, Firefox is the only browser that offers a proper noscript implementation alongside a good adblock plus.
Last I checked, the Chrome alternatives only filtered out JS after it was initially loaded. And in Opera I've never heard of any such offering.
