This site has an anti-adblock message that appears under the condition that navigator.brave exists. To bypass this, we need to implement our brave-fix on this site

The following issue describes a problem on whatsapp where users on specific devices could not see reaction emojis when attempting to react to a message. By disabling hardware concurrency farbling, this feature works as expected.

This change will disable hardware concurrency farbling by default, acting as an interim fix until we can fix the underlying issue.
