Comment:

 Yeah, I saw that (re comment 1) and yes, it is still an issue. But the IE
 snippet does not get loaded in Tor Browser at all as far as I can see. The
 issue is a NoScript one. Here is what happens:

 Consider https://atlas.torproject.org/#search/DFRIpi.
 Looking at NoScript's isJSEnabled() all scripts for atlas.torproject.org
 get loaded. But then onionoo.torproject.org gets called to check for the
 DFRIpi relays. We have a window for it and `enabled` gets set to `true`
 due to the globalHTTPSWhitelist option. `topSite` is still
 `https://atlas.torproject.org`. Thus, we need to do another check
 {{{
             enabled = this.isJSEnabled(topSite);
 }}}
 and this returns `false` as there is no window for
 https://atlas.torproject.org we pass anymore. Thus, scripts loaded from
 https://onionoo.torproject.org are blocked despite the site that is
 responsible for the call and the script is self is HTTPS-enabled.

 Giorgio, does anything speak against passing the window to
 `isJSEnabled()`? (Might be needed in the iframe case, too? I have not
 checked that yet)
