Blocking scripts disables adblock scriptlet injections

[nihil-admirari]

I've recently discovered that Brave fails to prevent click tracking on DuckDuckGo. After searching for similar issues, it turned out that (emphasis mine):

It could either be fixed if we added DDG to the debounce list (as you pointed out), or if we supported the href-sanitizer scriptlet properly (the topic of the original issue you filed).

I've no idea how many other features of uBlock Origin are actually not supported (doesn't look like the list of unsupported functionality is documented anywhere).

Currently the user is basically forced to install an additional 3rd-party adblocker, since the built-in one is subpar.

I just went through the steps you posted in brave/adblock-resources#167 - looks like this is actually related to having scripts disabled.

If you do a search on html.duckduckgo.com without blocking scripts, the links are fixed as expected.

It sort of makes sense since href-sanitizer itself is a script - but it's probably not what anyone expects. We'll see what we can do. Thanks for reporting, @nihil-admirari!

If you filter GitHub issues by uBO-parity like this, that should cover what we currently want to support but just haven't gotten around to yet.
