Smart Tor users have JavaScript turned off anyway. You might be lacking the images, but lately this has been pretty good on archive.org.

- scrollaway 11y agoThus cementing the "no convenience" clause. I understand this is an acceptable tradeoff for some people (myself included) but you can't pretend it's convenient.
- Sir_Cmpwn 11y agoAgain, I disagree. Not every website today requires JavaScript, and in fact most websites that cater to the sort of audience that includes Tor users are even less likely to. I don't think anyone sees Tor as a daily driver for general web browsing. It's not much less convenient for the use-cases it's meant to support.
- aw3c2 11y agoGive it a try for a week. You might be amazed how fast, calm and content-rich the web can be, if you disable Javascript by default and whitelist when needed.
- scrollaway 11y agoI'm well aware of what the web is like without JS. I know it's usable. I'm saying it's not convenient. Whitelisting is not convenient. If people are pretending it is, they're doing a disservice to the security community. Kinda how like people pretend GPG is usable and convenient, thus holding back progress in the security UX front.
