Comment (by cyberpunks):

 >Yes, the NoScript icon in the context menu is a bug which we did not get
 fixed for 8.5. Removing it is tracked in #30730.

 For clarity: Same cypherpunk as op here

 I'm not sure I follow, isn't #30730 this this thread?

 I understand that JS is a complex thing and maybe we should make it an
 expert setting one must opt into bringing up in the menu. I agree hiding
 complexity but allowing experts to customize is a good design pattern.

 Based on what you say, I'd agree it's not a huge deal if ppl add the icon
 in short term. (I'd love to see some kind of "factory reset" option, since
 at least in macOS it's a bit hard and takes some terminal doings to
 completely reset tor's appearance to default but that's a separate issue
 sorry to wander)

 In long term, I'd prefer to be able to use the context menu rather than
 modify my browser.

 (Right click -> NoScript -> whitelist specifics)

 Not only for the admittedly niche issue of screenshots if custom icon
 added, but at higher level I think it's good to train users not to modify
 tor. I've seen troubling numbers of people post on places like Reddit they
 want to install extensions to "increase" their privacy and need to be
 talked out of it. Since not everyone understands diff between adding
 buttons and adding add ons might be a simple way to reinforce safe
 behavior.

 Anyways apologies if not being clear, English not first language: I think
 that if no icon present, enabling the right click menu should be allowed.
 I recognize it is advanced, but for a site like Reddit (admittedly an edge
 case), you need some JS to run the site, but you don't want everything you
 visit out of Reddit to run JS.

 Anyways, thanks for listening, have a good day
