Hi @justsomeone1,

Clearing my entire cache and all cookies did not fix the issue.

Here is a gif of me trying to enable ‘Scripts blocked’ for that site:

thanks for the gif

try that:

  1. disable all extension and try the site in private mode
  2. go to menu then create a new profile just to test if it work fine there or not

and have a nice day :slight_smile:

Hi @justsomeone1

1. disable all extension and try the site in private mode

I don’t have any extensions installed. Using private mode fixes the issue - I can enable ‘Scripts blocked’ for that site whilst in private mode :slight_smile:

2. go to menu then create a new profile just to test if it work fine there or not

I added another profile via People -> Add Person. Using a second person also fixes the issue - I can enable ‘Scripts blocked’ for that site :slight_smile:

Thanks!

when you cleared your cache did you choose cookies and all time ?

you very welcome :slight_smile:

#9

when you cleared your cache did you choose cookies and all time ?

Yes - I did.

I just found a way to fix it using my original profile:

Brave -> Clear Browsing Data -> Advanced:

Time range: All time
Check ‘Site and shield settings’ and ‘Hosted app data’
Click Clear data

After that I can set ‘Scripts blocked’ for https://smh.com.au
