General usage questions about Tor might be best asked over on the tor-users mailing list. Enabling Javascript anywhere is a risk because it opens up attack vectors to your computer, but by itself it will not automatically compromise anonymity. Someone would have to be using an exploit delivered over Javascript to do that. This is pretty unlikely in the case of large sites such as Youtube or Reddit, unless state agencies are targeting you specifically (which Tor makes more difficult). Qubes is designed to contain exploits to a single VM. If you use it with a disposable VM for browsing, even if you do get compromised in a browsing session such as by a Javascript virus in Google ads on Youtube, closing that Tor Browser and opening a new one will result in it using a fresh, non-compromised disposable VM. Buying items through Tor means using your real identity through Tor. Some people use Tor for everything including banking. Some use Tor for all browsing except anything involving their real identity. Others just use Tor occasionally for some sites. Try searching tor-users mailing list for questions similar to yours; you'll need to develop your own answer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
