Comment (by Thorin):

 Replying to [comment:8 thelamper]:
 > Does having javascript disabled make it harder to fingerprint individual
 Tor users

 Absolutely. Reducing the attack surface (by disabling JS) removes a
 **lot** of the FPing metrics possible.

 > Or is it generally viewed by the Tor Project as safe (ie non-
 fingerprintable) for Tor users to browse the web with javascript enabled?

 My view is that it's always a work in progress but the anti-FPing in Tor
 Browser is very mature at this stage. Instead, adapt to your threat model,
 and use the security slider.
