I figured it would work the same way but interestingly enough, even with
noscript on allow everything, some javascript still fails to work. I'm
guessing this means TorButton is doing some work in the background, but
I could be wrong.

I have heard that js has an option to bypass proxies or contact local
routers, which is part of the "dangerous javascript" that I assume
torbutton would hook. For good measure, I've manually blocked anything
in the local subnets but I think that might be overkill.
