Which parts of noscript do you want? If you want to block javascript fully on certain sites, Chrome can do that without an extension. If you want to block external scripts from certain URLs, that should be possible soon through the webrequest API. I can't see any equivalent of the clickjacking protection, though.


I want whitelisting with a little dropdown that gives me the option to temporarily or permanently whitelist domains as I see fit. I'm not really interested in blacklisting, which is I think what you're describing.


I've been following (and looked back at) NoScript's development and realized that it does much, much more than blocking execution of scripts and clickjacking protection. XSS-protection, their ABE-system and the ability to block all kinds of media content that I want, are among a few. Much of it appears to be hidden "behind the scenes".
