When did Tor Browser start enabling JS by default? It was blocked by noscript by default for me, when I started using it years ago, and that was still the case the last time I installed a new workstation OS, earlier this year.
I use TBB for about 20% of my browsing, a habit that I cultivated while traveling and working overseas. Now, with all the crazy identity politics going on at the major data companies, I think that anonymity is becoming much more important for the general public.
Thank you for playing devil's advocate. The fact that the project is funded by the US govt is certainly concerning, no doubt about that. I can only hope that their motive is just to enable their own agents to operate online without being identified, profiled and social-graphed by the private sector.
- tscs37 9y agoThe Tor project has always been funded by the US Gov, probably since they started the entire project in the first place. They do have some interest in keeping it airtight.
