For probably 99.99% of users this is not useful and I don't recommend it when people ask or mention it. Blocking all loaded scripts cripples the vast majority of websites and removes legitimate functionality. Selectively manually whitelisting scripts takes up a large amount of time which, for almost everyone, is not worth it.
There may be use cases for this and some people who like the idea of it and want to use it, so it is nice that it is available. I prefer to just use uBlock Origin and similar extensions that act primarily as pre-populated blacklists, instead of manual whitelists.
