A JavaScript error appears whenever I open Windows 10 laptop soon after having downloaded the Brave browser, Then a note from Distilll Networks dropped me a notice it is often tied to a 3rd party browser blocking JavaScript. Is this something Brave does? What are the solutions?
@donlara,
Can you tell me what website you’re seeing this error on?
The error prevented me from accessing www.aarp.org
To clarify. The error window shows up everytime I open Winders 10. It stays on the screen until I click it off. The block to www.aarp.org occurred when I was using the Brave browser. I tried it again on Firefox and it blocked it there as well.
@donlara,
Can you share a screenshot of the Javascript error as it appears on your end?
I took a photo of it and can email it to you. Where would I email it?
@donlara,
You can simply copy/paste it into the editor here when you reply. You can also use the Upload file option the editor’s toolbar:
Having no luck pasting it.
I was able to send it by email.
In reply to this email from you there should be no problem identifying me. I attached the javascript error in my last emaill you weren’t able to identify. I’m out of further ways to communicate if you don’t receive this. @donlara
@donlara,
I’m sorry – who exactly did you email?
Look, I am totally new to Brave and soon after I had Brave browser downloaded, an error window popped on my screen about javascript. I was uneducated not knowing that you blocked javascript without it being a choice. Then what happened I had to pay a bill to aarp.org and as soon as I clicked to open aarp, a window appeared on my screen from Distil Networks saying my javascript was blocked and this is likely from a 3rd party browser.
I tried to find a customer service person at Brave, but I ended up being referred to your Community.
I was not sure who I was speaking to in the Community, whoever it was needed me to send a print screen picture of the error on my windows screen. No matter what I did I could not get back to that person. I kept trying to send a photo as an email attachment. No luck. I managed to copy it as a print screen which is now in my Pictures Folder.
I logged into Brave with this email address as my username.I thought I was communicate with Mattches.
@donlara,
This is Mattches you’re speaking to.
Whats interesting is that Javascript is not blocked by default in Brave – most websites use various scripts to add functionality, so Brave does not block scripts by default. In Brave, can you go to Menu --> Settings --> Shields and ensure that the Block scripts option is toggled "off:
Thank you for your help. I’ll keep searching.Brave’s scripts setting is not blocked.
