Had a look into the ublock settings.
The one I found seems to be more of a nuke-grade total disabling, as opposed to the fine-grained approach of the noscript extension.
UBlock’s approach is that you disable it for every site in the settings and then whitelist per site. Seems sensible enough to me. How does noscript do it?
I guess I prefer the Unix philosophy of doing things:
Have a bunch of combinable small programs each being dedicated to a single function and doing that well instead of large complex monoliths.
When it comes to browser addons, it is generally recommended to have as few as possible in order to reduce attack surface, since a higher number increases the chance of having one that becomes compromised. It’s especially relevant with browser addons because they tend to have lots of capabilities/permissions and can therefore do lots of damage.

That is certainly a valid approach to using ublock origin, but the wiki outlines a few other blocking modes available.
Check out the wiki to see the different blocking modes available.
