We prefer Safest Mode because it blocks #JavaScript. If we need to allow JS for a specific site we simply use the #NoScript add-on (added to the top toolbar).
Does anyone know precisely the reason why SVG are blocked in Safest Mode? If we know the threats we can open a path toward finally enabling #SVGs!
Boosts appreciated to solve this long--standing problem.
Any credible reason why #SVG are still considered unsafe for #TorBrowser?
Is it that rendering #SVGs might give away certain charactistics about the hardware? Why not software #rendering? Is it that bad things (eg. #js) can be embedded? Why not whitelist legal elements?
The lack of dialogue on this leads a conspiratorial thinker to think #TorProject blocks SVG to make it a fringe browser that will never serve a wider audience than the most ardent #privacy proponents.
