I can only see a 'lol' on there now. See attachment.

Has it been defaced?

I wanted to check your guidelines for "don't overly depend on Javascript".

Something that could be interesting would be to give more hints on which
aspects of JavaScript will definitely not work and be blocked by Tor
Browser and which other aspects work fine in Tor Browser.

While still making it clear that people running Tor Browser are more
likely to disable JavaScript all the way, so there should be a
reasonable fallback for them.
