> 1. Having JS disabled by default makes you easier to identify (because
regular people on the net use JS, and most people on Tor Network also use
JS);
Where did you find this information? Link or something?
> 2. Changing settings in Tor Browser harms your anonymity
Yeah, a different issue. Doesn't mean disabling javascript harms your
anonymity.
> 3. Having JS enabled for certain websites and disabled for others will also
harm your anonymity
See above.

I never said they don't say *this*.

attacks;
Yes I agree and never said something different.
But I doubt they ever said it's a risk for your anonymity to disable
javascript.
I mean ok, one can recognize that you have javascript disabled and might be a
tor user because of this. But how should they manage to find out really
private things about you?
I don't like the compromise they made anyway. A project like tor shouldn't
make compromises when we talk about anonymity.
Many websites break, ok.
And a few people don't understand this. It's better they stop using tor
instead of some people who really need anonymity are exposed to serious
privacy issues.
