Description of the issue:
On Version 1.69.2 (172), iPhone 13, iOS 18.0.1 (this also happened on 18.0), when “Block scripts” is enabled in shields and privacy, JavaScript is disabled for all sites, except for ones which have the feature turned off via the brave logo menu in the top right. On android this worked fine, but in iOS this sometimes fails. When I go to a website with JavaScript enabled from the new tab page, it will sometimes not load JavaScript anyway, and I have to reload the page or create the tab again. However, this doesn’t happen if I navigate to a page through a clickable link, for example I have both duckduckgo and youtube set to have JavaScript allowed, if I search youtube in duckduckgo, it will sometimes not have JavaScript loaded, then if I click on the YouTube link, javascript will always load on YouTube.
How can this issue be reproduced?
- Enable “Block scripts” in settings - shields & privacy
- Go to any website and turn the feature off for that site in the brave menu
- Close and reopen, go to the URL of the website straight from the address bar
Expected result:
Expected with bug: JavaScript sometimes doesn’t load.
Expected without bug: JavaScript loads on sites specified.
