One of the weird things here is that javascript is not disabled by default in the Tor Browser and instead an addon is needed.
This whole thing is also yet another reason to use something like Tails or Whonix which are much safer to use with JS enabled.
- oil25 7y agoIt is a valid trade-off to leave Javascript enabled by default in Tor Browser. The reason being, the experience is much more user-friendly to a layperson and thus results in greater network usage and diversity. "Safe" is a relative concept in information security and not everyone has the same goals or risks - though in principle I agree disabling JS greatly hardens a browser.
