Can uBlock Origin do everything that NoScript does? (lemmy.ml)

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?

So far I understand it's no necessary to use both. You can do everything that Noscript does with uBO.

Right. Second sentence on this site says this:

But it can also be used in a manner similar to NoScript (to block scripts) and/or RequestPolicy (to block all 3rd-party servers by default), using a point-and-click user interface.
