[feature request] pref to overwrite default whitelist

There are some default whitelist entries such as paypal.com, netflix.com and many others.
(file common/Policy.js function defaultOptions and file legacy/defaults.js)
Could you please add a feature, that if a specific environment variable is set, don't set these defaults and keep the default white list empty?

Sorry but there is currently no way for a WebExtension to read environment variables.
This sounds like a Tor Browser issue, reporting to them was the right place.

Ok, understood.
Alternatively,
Could you please add a pref?
By pref I mean related to about:config. The default whitelist could be an about:config string. Such as:
Such a pref could then be added to user.js by Tor Browser developers and/or users.

Unfortunately WebExtensions can't read about:config prefs either.
If there's anything for NoScript to do here, it would likely need to be based on its existing means to detect Tor Browser. (I'm not sure how that detection works.)

I see.
In
https://github.com/hackademix/noscript/ ... -533972482 I further changed my feature request as in "some mechanism that any webextension can use". Would you prefer to use
https://github.com/hackademix/noscript/ ... -533972482 to avoid duplication?
