Can uBlock Origin do everything that NoScript does? (lemmy.ml)

I have installed both uBlock Origin and NoScript in Firefox. Does it make sense to use both at the same time? I was wondering whether or not uBlock Origin is able to do everything that NoScript does. If not, what does NoScript have that uBlock Origin does not?

Is there a simple way to block individual scripts with uBlock? I’ve only found a simple way to block 3rd or 1st party scripts and frames altogether.

You can use the element zapper or picker to remove individual elements on a page.

You can also use the logger to identify specific elements and then create a rule to block them.

I recommend uMatrix for targeted blocking.
