   Ublock and Noscript do different things.   
   Noscript blocks what scripts that you told it to block.   
   (I use QuickJS but rarely block any scripts.)   
   Ublock blocks url's (and url related ads & popups).   
   Connecting to one of the local TV stations online shows 63 total url's   
   attempting to connect to my comp.  Ublock blocked 43 of them.   
   Ublock can examine and block script lines within the url window if   
   needed or block the remaining connections as needed.
