But does it support blocking JavaScript, large media elements, social widgets, and fonts?

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.)
I would like to know this, too. It does not seem to be on the list of features unless they are referring to it via "cosmetic filtering". I often block particular elements on websites.
You can block elements, there's an option on the right click context menu to do it visually.
