Hi,
I have switched to Qubes and updated to Whonix GW and WS 16. Why is javascript true in the tor browser? Do I need to do more torbrowser configurations so that the browser is configured exactly as under virtualbox in the ws? Why are there differences?
There are minimal unavoidable difference Tor Browser Bundle versus Whonix ™ Tor Browser which are documented here: Whonix ™ Tor Browser Differences
I don’t think there are. You might be mistaken. At time of writing, Whonix for VirtualBox vs Qubes-Whonix does not have different javascript enabled/disabled default settings.
