How JavaScript Functions within the Tor Network

JavaScript is a programming language that runs in your browser rather than on the website's server. When you visit a page, your computer downloads these scripts and follows their instructions - this allows for dynamic content like maps, chats and form validations. In the context of the Tor Browser, the software tries to sandbox the scripts to prevent them from seeing your actual network details. The browser acts as a middleman, attempting to feed the script "fake" or generalized information about your hardware.
