Comment (by DoctorEww):

 With modern browsers, tor included, javascript can be used to
 automatically manipulate the contents of a clipboard, so users can
 unknowingly/unwillingly copy information that could make them
 identifiable, with this still un-fixed javascript is more dangerous then
 ever.
