I used to use NoScript up until a couple of years ago when loading pages took extra time *because of* NoScript which is just irritating. So I ditched NoScript (which over the years became *too much*) and switched to other methods to block troublesome javascripts, to cut the story short, nowadays I use uMatrix[1], it's much lighter on resources and more intuitive to use IMHO. I've seen various reports of others using uBlock Origin (developed by the same author of uMatrix), but personally I settled for just using uMatrix.
