Hi,

The NoScript addon is a powerful way to improve privacy, but version
after version, by default it comes DISABLED!

Is there any possibility to release the next TOR versions with NoScript
enabled?
I think this will be helpful, especially for new TOR users.

Moritz,

Thanks for the link. I can understand the reason to keep noscript enabled by default, but most of the users are not aware about the risks associated with javascript and even many experts underestimate it; most of the tracking/spying tools are javascript based.

I can understand the intention on not frustrate many users, but is not TOR a tool intended to, primarily, provide security and anonymity, instead convenience?
