Chome's debugger would probably fall into this category. It's the king by far. Never used the "noscript" feature, but I don't see how it would help, assuming the name is indicative of what it does, since most every website now relies heavily on some form of Javascipt. You would have to allow those sites, probably every site your go to, to run their scripts anyway. And, If you're concerned about "protecting your information", the larger sites you use daily are the ones collecting the most of it. The cookies thing isn't a huge "get" either as the web has largely moved onto better methods of tracking your activity that extends beyond you just visiting their website. That's why MS lets you block theirs, it doesn't matter to them either way.

I use NoScript, Ghostery and Privacy Badger and I can see who is tracking. You can block a lot with Noscript and still get almost full functionality on most sites. Noscript is built into the TorBrowser.

I would never use a "Google" Browser, unless I was developing and needed to test a site with it ... along with other browsers.

The only two ways I've seen to get a passing grade on tracking is the TorBrowser, and Firefox with NoScript (Ghostery and Privacy Badger). https://panopticlick.eff.org/
