This simplified version of HTTP Switchboard blocks and hides the same Web content that ABP and AdBlock do, only more efficiently, and it can also convert HOSTS files into sets of ABP rules: http://lifehacker.com/ublock-is-a-fast-and-lightweight-alternative-to-adblock-1625246461

HTTP Switchboard itself seems to be much like NoScript, only finer-grained, and although it includes ABP-style blocking rules, it doesn't allow you to add custom subscriptions, and that part of HTTP Switchboard will be removed soon in favor of the extension I linked to in the OP.

This is a useful introduction to HTTP Switchboard, which looks unwieldy at first.
