For everyday browsing I use NoScript, and rarely allow JS to run (I don't have JS right now!). With Tor, JS is always disabled, 100% of the time. Tor is a niche use case, and not running JS is a cost that comes with the increased anonymity. I'm not using Tor to watch my "How to cook rice" videos or funny cat videos.

Which major sites still work just fine without JS? Which ones do you have to avoid?
- ziddoap 4y ago
  I mean, I don't have JS enabled for HN, although I don't know if you count that as "major". But I'm not really keeping track, honestly. If I come across a website that isn't working with JS, I make the decision "is this worth allowing JS?". Sometimes the answer is yes, sometimes it is no. Often it means enabling the first-party domain to run JS but no others. Conveniently, some of the paywalls on various news sites don't work with JS, but you can still read the article. So that'd be some of them that arguably work better without JS. I don't use Tor for everyday browsing, only for the times I need/want it. In those cases, the equation always equals "no JS" -- that's the reason Im using Tor in the first place. It's a balancing act, as all security always is.

  I wouldn't be surprised if pornhub-dl exists. ;-)

    I'm sure youtube-dl works, but one google away is https://github.com/Nukesor/pornhub-dl https://github.com/Nukesor/pornhub-dl which seems to have site specific features.
