Do they block <link rel=prefetch> completely?

On Brave, the workaround on that linked snippet bypasses their blocking.

Well, uBlock Origin sets network.prefetch-next=false and network.dns.disablePrefetch=true, so yes.

The reason is that browser prefetching may hit URLs that were intended to be blocked.
