Comment (by arlolra):

 Ah yes, I noticed this in https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-
 talk/2013-December/031363.html (Is that user confused that since noscript
 is present, JavaScript is disabled?)

 Well, the answer might be asking Atlas/Globe developers for better
 progressive enhancement on their sites. But JavaScripts is part of the web
 and the FAQ clearly states that the ultimate goal is a combination of
 firewalls and sandboxing that allow users to browse with JS enabled. So,
 maybe this is more just an example of the tradeoff you're making by
 disabling JavaScript.

 I can always remove the link to Atlas altogether.
