Can uBlock Origin do everything that NoScript does? - eviltoast

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?

    I use both as well. Ublock would let a lot of things through that NoScript does not. Ublock also gets stuff that NoScript does not. Facebook and google stuff? Zapped by noscript. Youtube ads? NoScript lets them through because you have to okay the youtube player, while Ublock blocks them.

    Only complaint I have with NoScript is that it doesn’t seem like I can allow scripts without it automatically reloading the page anymore. It was nice to be able to click the ‘expand image’ here, see that NS blocked the script, allow the script, and just click the ‘expand image’ twice more to close/open it. Now I have to click ‘expand image,’ unblock the script, the page reloads, I have to go find the post again, and then see it. If you figure that out, let me know.
