You're not alone. I use a seperate browser for Tor and it is completely
stripped out no plugins, java/javascript disables, defaults to saving
to disk rather then opening stuff. etc.
I think the problem that people are bumping into is that many of the
"popular" sites are unfriendly to such a browser if not down right
hostile. The old ideal of "fail gracefully" seems lost on modern web
designers. It seems little attention is paid to the fact that not
everyone has a super fast machine, flash 10, ie7, ff3.x, etc., Of
course the other side of the problem is that few people try to hold
such sites to account. IMHO All sites should work (display something
useful even if not as functional as the "full" site) with browsers as
basic as Lynx.
