Comment(by mikeperry):
We're not sure that disabling scripts globally is a good default option
for people. We're trying really hard to engineer a default private
browsing setup that does not rely on filters or feature breakage, but we
may need some browser muscle to help things along:

track-vs-real-privacy-design
Can you explain why you believe that this might not be possible? Ie, what
is it specifically about Google Analytics that makes you think we can't
deal with it by enhancing browser privacy in a general sense?
We provide NoScript mostly for the non-filter features it provides, such
as click-to-play for media, webgl and plugins, XSS protection, remote font
blockage, and so on. The ability to globally disable JS is also a bonus
for the malware and exploit-laden corners of the web, but having JS
disabled (or worse, filtered) by default doesn't seem very intuitive for
new Tor users.
