In Chrome you can have javascript disabled by default, then whitelist all of the javascript on individual hosts (it does execute all of the javascript on the page, as compared to noscript).

Then on each host, Chrome starts off with no javascript, and there is an icon in the URL bar to enable it. Thus I can enable all javascript for trusted hosts. And in regular mode, that change is permanent, so I'm not bothered

Additionally, open up an incognito, and allow javascript for a host, and that decision is only valid as long as the incognito window is open.

So the workflow is:

1.) Always surf with javascript disabled

2.) Permanently allow all trusted hosts

3.) When needed, temporarily allow a host via incognito (ex: blogspot sites)

This does not require any additional extensions.
