NoScript blocks other "dangerous content" like Java applets, flash,
siverlight... too. And it discover cross site scripting. So I prefer
NoScript and FoxyProxy.

FoxyProxy offers the possibility to configure some sites to be used
with a preselected proxy, may be switch to "tor" for all http://*.onion*
