Yes. Sorry I didn’t check before.

While we are on the subject of the Brave pages, it mentions that the “Block scripts” option is similar to uBo’s blocking modes. This is absolutely not true. Block scripts in Brave block ALL scripts, while uBo’s Medium Mode blocks third-party frames and scripts, and you can manually enable certain domains on a per-site or global basis.

Thanks for pointing this out. On personal testing, I confirmed this to be the case, and that the Block Scripts feature is not comparable to uBO’s advanced blocking modes.

I corrected the description to the following:

This option disables JavaScript, which will break a lot of sites. To unbreak them, you can set exceptions on a per-site basis by clicking on the Shield icon in the address bar and unchecking this setting under Advanced controls.
