IIRC when I was questioning about the torbutton/noscript compatibility I
received this answer: "if you turn on js, you break torbutton
functions". This was long time before the noscript restriction of active
content during https and many versions of torbutton ago, when noscript
was still an unfriendly tor extension, so take it with a pinch of salt ;-)
I'm assuming that, yes, enabling js via noscript will take over
torbutton block mechanism but the ability of noscript to restrict the
active contents from https only is a great aid in such situations.
