TBBundle, Browser javascript

[Lee]

Hello again,

I've just been catching up the further replies on this.

Maybe the developer(s) of the bundle and/or torbutton might wander along 
and see this thread, and confirm whether or not javascript needs to stay 
on in the browser.

I originally asked this because, when testing my connection, a little 
more personal info is revealed with the browser's javascript turned on 
than when off, such as the local time zone. I do appreciate however that 
the config of the torbutton is set to enforce privacy and kill/block 
most (all?) nosy javascript.

If I/we don't find the definitive answer, I suppose it is best to trust 
the default settings in the bundle rather than potentially break 
something by turning off javascript. It would however be very nice to 
know for sure wouldn't it, seeing as leaving javascript enabled in the 
browser seems to contradict one of the commonly held 'rules' of 'safe 
surfing'.
