 'Default' sites (which is every site) have everything allowed. Hence
 Noscript is completely useless unless one bothers to look into the
 settings and fix things up before starting to browse.

 > That's not a bug but expected. We use NoScript to get the properties of
 our "safer" and "safest" security mode we want. On the level "standard"
 you should get the most usable browsing experience, which means the least
 amount of website breakage due to disabled features we can provide.

 There is no 'safer', 'safest' or 'standard' security modes that I can see
 within the noscript settings, or within Tor Browser Preferences under
 'General' or 'Privacy and Security'. If your 'standard' security mode does
 exist somewhere, it does not correspond with noscript's default values as
 obtained by pressing the 'reset' button in noscript preferences.
