Noscript has 100k users on chrome, 240k on Firefox, according to their respective stores. I don't know if thats total downloads or active installations though.

Ublock origin lite is 19M on chrome.

There are ~6B global internet users. So definitely more than 1:100k, but still very unique.

So they are very different scales.
