I think I follow you with the Tor/onion stuff, nostr privacy isn't what you'd like it to be. For now it's a trade off over fragmented functional scattered tor services. But regarding javascript, is the concern that using the language opens up to too many vulnerabilities or something like that?

JavaScript is known for a lot of vulnerabilities, so it doesn't work with Tor browser set to the safest security setting, and I think devs want to do a future version of Tor browser where JavaScript never works regardless of settings

I see. Always thought you were uniquely concerned with JS for niche reasons, but from the little I understand this sounds rather significant. Thanks

I've had people bring it up as the reason they're resistant to the purple pill in some chats, and then a js free Tor browser instantly having no working nostr clients would definitely make people divided on it until solved
