Could you make your point a bit clearer here? I was trying to figure out whether the Tor Browser as we offer it from our website is giving the same behavior as the software Whonix is shipping (which I don't know anything about), but I am still not sure what the answer here is. > There are other recent changes and decisions by Tor Project which often cause questions. List of things up to The Tor Project having decided for now at the time of writing: > > * not enable to set noscript to blocking of all scripts globally by default, That's not a recent decision or change but has been that way forever, see our FAQ entry: https://support.torproject.org/#tbb-34 > * not persist noscript per-site settings by default, Per-site permissions saved by default would risk making you linkability across different website because you probably have a non-generic whitelist. But if someone really wants that then there is a pref you can flip. See: #27175 for the full discussion. > * remove noscript from Tor Browser menu bar by default. #25658 is the ticket you want and proposal 101 (https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-browser-spec.git/tree/proposals/101 -security-controls-redesign.txt) for more background. You can follow the tbb-dev list for proposal discussions like that one. This feature has been in the works for months. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/31094#comment:3> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
