[Privoxy-users] Query about enabling javascript?

[rjb73 at protonmail.com]

Hi,
I just wanted to see if i could ask someone a quick question please?
I downloaded privoxy 3.0.29 earlier today on a windows 7 32-bit machine with the brave 1.15.76 browser,initially it did not work until i went into the settings in brave and clicked on "Open your computers proxy settings" and clicked on the Lan settings tab and manually entered 127.0.0.1. & port 8118 and ticked the box that says use a proxy server for your Lan.
Then it seems to be working fine as when i used startpage search for my IP address it came back different and in a different location which is good.

I wanted to ask please if i should be allowing javascript to be enabled as when ever i click edit on the privoxy icon in the taskbar brave asks to enable javascript and when i allowed it and blocked all the requests for everything else,location,Usb devices,sound,images,payment handlers etc except allowing javascript i wondered if javascript should stay blocked on each page that opens in brave whilst using privoxy?

Thank you for your time on this matter and let me know if you need any more info from me?
I appreciate everything you are doing concerning privoxy as i feel its hard to find a reliable/safe proxy/VPN etc that is not run and controlled by the usual suspects in langley etc.

Thank you!
