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?

NoScript to block specific JS elements on a page. If you have visited any Chinese online shop like Aliexpress or Linsoul I'm sure you'll appreciate NoScript to be able to only unblock the essential JS to be able to interact with the site and block every other tracker

uBO can also do exactly the same. And more ☝🏻

I am only able to block either every JS script or none. How do I select which scripts to block? This was the reason I installed NoScript

You can identify specific scripts with the logger and from the same window you create a dynamic rule
