+We configure NoScript to allow JavaScript by default in the Tor |
|
| 860 |
+Browser Bundle because many websites will not work with JavaScript |
|
| 861 |
+disabled. Most users would give up on Tor entirely if a website |
|
| 862 |
+they want to use requires JavaScript, because they would not know |
|
| 863 |
+how to allow a website to use JavaScript (or that enabling |
|
| 864 |
+JavaScript might make a website work). |

+You can configure your copies of Tor Browser Bundle however you want |
|
| 874 |
+to. However, we recommend that even users who know how to use |
|
| 875 |
+NoScript leave JavaScript enabled if possible, because a website or |
|
| 876 |
+exit node can easily distinguish users who disable JavaScript from |
|
| 877 |
+users who use Tor Browser bundle with its default settings (thus |
|
| 878 |
+users who disable JavaScript are less anonymous). |

+Disabling JavaScript by default, then allowing a few websites to run |
|
| 883 |
+scripts, is especially bad for your anonymity: the set of websites |
|
| 884 |
+which you allow to run scripts is very likely to <em>uniquely</em> |
|
| 885 |
+identify your browser. |
