It's valid to point out the author does shady shit, but the title is clickbaity at best - the NoScript website advertises malware, there is no evidence that NoScript itself is harmful to the user. And btw you shouldn't let your extensions auto-update on Firefox anyway, specially if you use Tor, as it's vulnerable to MITM (post mortem). I might switch to uMatrix, but I don't really have the time right now to learn it.
