NoScript would be my next in-line but am using Google Chrome (Unstable) (ie to date: Version 57.0.2950.4 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)) more than anything these days... thanks.
I would have liked to have also chosen uBlock Origin, but in the end went with VeraCrypt. Without much fuss, it has successfully and smoothly taken over the mantle from (and improved on) TrueCrypt.
:-) That appears to include console setups for x86 and x64 in addition to GUI setups for both. If you wish, for example, purely to install the x64 console setup, we're talking 3.5 MiB. I personally don't consider that excessive for the functionality it has.
BEWARE! uBlock Origin is COMPLETELY UNRELATED to the web site ublock.org**
The donations sought by the individual behind ublock.org ("to keeps uBlock development possible", a misrepresentation) are not benefiting any of those who contributed most to create uBlock Origin (developers, translators, and all those who put efforts in opening detailed issues). For the differences between uBlock Origin and uBlock, see the unbiased Wikipedia article.
I suggest removing "Ublock" permanently and only having "Ublock origin" listed.
Also, a reminder to anyone using Ublock - it hasn't been supported in two years. Stop using it and use Ublock Origin @ https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock

While it's possible that we'll remove uBlock in the future as it's not maintained, please remember that personal attacks and that kind of language aren't appropriate here at LQ.
