[ux] UX July 19 meeting summary: discussing changes to the tor browser toolbar

[teor]

Hi,

I tried to find the pad to leave comments on this change, but I
couldn't work out where it was.

There are no tab-specific settings: the NoScript button is a
site-specific setting that works for all tabs on that site.

How much people use the no script icon depends on the security
slider setting they have:
* In "Low" (the default)
  * there's not much reason to use the NoScript icon
* In "Medium" (JavaScript disabled on HTTP)
  * how many HTTP sites they use that need JavaScript
* In "High" (JavaScript disabled on all sites)
  * how many HTTP or HTTPS sites they use that need JavaScript

I use High Security mode, and I use the NoScript button regularly.
If you took it off the toolbar, I'd want to put it back in my browser.

Since the security slider is global, the NoScript button is the only
per-site security option that I have. (Changing both to be per-site
with a global default would be really useful to me: sometimes I want to
be able to enable SVG on Wikipedia, but then I forget and leave it on.)

Can someone explain why we don't want people to use the NoScript button?
It seems ok for people to use it on HTTPS sites they trust.
