Investing in NoScript can actually make pages faster, even if you end up enabling a bunch of javascript for functionality. For example, I remember having to whitelist only about half the resources used by homedepot.com. The rest was just shameless surveillance bloat, continually backhauling gobs of data as you were merely viewing the page. The site loaded and scrolled much quicker without it.
FYI, uBlock Origin has javascript blocking features just like NoScript, so if you're already using it as your ad blocker, you don't need a separate extension to block javascript too
This is absolutely true. But personally I find NoScript's UI more intuitive to use for JS domain blocking (mostly because I've been using it for years now). I also used to use uMatrix by the same author as uBO before it was deprecated on Chromium browsers.
