The author says that NoScript does a functional job all the same. This addon was not designed to be a functional implementation of anything, it was just meant to show how prolific are the big tech titans in our modern browsing.

This is not quite true. While it has a mild learning curve, just one or two of the individual 20 scripts like the JS can be temporarily allowed to make the site function while it still blocks all the rest that are unneeded. NoScript is the very best tool available but you can’t be too lazy to use it as it was designed to be used. All it takes is a little brain effort.
