Tails is very security-concerned, if Noscript was shady they wouldn't have included it. So if you think they purposely included something that promotes malware, you are saying people should stay away from Tails.

I think you are trolling. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you worked for some organization that wants to keep people off Tor.

If you want to defend you post, then explain what people should do instead of using Tails.



If you think NoScript is not shady, you must be unaware: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12624000

I don't want to keep people away from TOR, I personally don't care about TOR project as such, but I believe everyone deserved privacy. And people or companies who believe it's okay to mess with your adblock filters and promote shady malware companines, don't work for the same purpose.


The update page for NoScript never appears in the Tor Browser, and it seems NoScript's maintainer deleted those ads after that critcism.


They only appear when you are using IE + Windows user string.

It doesn't directly affect TOR, but the combination above is the most vulnerable people and if the author is fine with giving them instructions installing malware, why should a TOR user trust him? It doesn't make sense.


I see your point about TOR, but what about tails?


Because NoScript itself is fine.


And mass surveillance is only to catch the bad guys, why bother with TOR/Tails, it's only for terrorists.
