Yes, you can block elements directly from the context menu. I use it all the time on Reddit.

There's also built in blocking under brave://settings/shields for Javascript and social features.

It doesn't have a specific feature to block fonts AFAIK but it does have fingerprint protection if that's your concern.



Brave's adblocker supports the standard `$font` resource type modifier on adblock rules as well.


Thanks, TIL!


What I specifically mean by 'large media elements' is that I currently have the uBlock option active to 'Block media elements larger than [50] KB'. (Where the 50 is a spinner so I can increase or decrease the size if I want.)
