Either the Tor devs are completely incompetent or much like the javascript issue it's being done this way on purpose

>the javascript issue
You mean users being too dumb not to use facebook over TOR, or browser fingerprinting exploits?

I don't know about the internal relay stuff.
But TOR doesn't make you smarter, if you wanna protect your identity there is a serie of things you need to configure. Check out https://www.privacytools.io/

No i mean the issue where javascript was enabled by default (most likely on purpose).

Tor has 3 modes:
Client mode
Internal relay
Exit node.
Being in client only mode means any traffic going from your PC into Tor can be deduced to being yours and yours alone.
Internal Relay is what should be default, You relay traffic for others but only internally.
Exit node should be avoided unless you have the means to host it.

so you can change it or not??

People don't want to be internal relays either, since it attracts the notice of some government agencies, like the NSA. If you turned it on by default, it would legit put people just trying it out in certain countries at risk. Also, most people in the US have shit bandwidth anyway.

You can if you just run the tor program, I think it has a torrc file.
The TBB offers no way to adjust it, They should at least give the option.

Bandwith is the only excuse not to use internal relay.
Bridge exist for those that can't connect directly.
Traffic correlation can almost certainly be done on client mode.
