What this actually means

xkcd.com's completed measurements recorded no listed activity, but some optional detector evidence was not recorded in this legacy report.

The request log recorded no cross-site hosts or catalogued tracking-related services, the cookie snapshot recorded no third-party cookie records and the fingerprint observer recorded no instrumented API events. Some optional detector evidence was not recorded in this legacy report, so whatever that check looks for is unproven here rather than shown to be absent.

Plain-Language Findings

What this visit means

Unfamiliar terms are defined in the glossary
playwright-chromium

Nothing observed

Bottom line: few review signals in this visit

The automated visit did not observe known third-party services, third-party cookies, or instrumented fingerprint-like calls.

The cards below translate the evidence into plain language; severity reflects fixed reference thresholds, not measured population percentiles. The request log, domain table, and methodology remain below for verification.

6 requests observed in one controlled visit.

Nothing observed

No requests matched Brave Shields filter lists

No requests matched the default filter lists of Brave Shields, the ad and tracker blocker built into the Brave browser.

Computed with Brave's own ad-block engine and default filter lists in classification mode: matched requests were not blocked by the scanner and remain in this report's observed request counts. Matching shows what Shields would target on this visit's traffic; an actual Shields visit blocks these and also prevents their follow-on requests, so this number is neither a measured block count nor the total effect.

The hand-curated service catalog separately matched 0 request rows in this visit.Show matched requests

Nothing observed

No known services matched

This scan did not match any third-party domains to the service catalog or another identity source.

No known operator or catalog entity was matched.

0 cross-site requests across 0 third-party hosts.No third-party domains observed.Show third-party requests

Nothing observed

No requests to major-platform domains were recorded

No requests to catalogued Google, Meta, TikTok, X, Microsoft, LinkedIn, or Pinterest domains were observed in this visit.

Major-platform domains were not observed in this single passive visit; interaction-gated requests could still load for real users.

0 cross-site domains seen overall.Show catalog-matched requests

Nothing observed

No Google Analytics observed

This visit did not contact Google Analytics.

Neither Google Analytics nor its remarketing sync was observed in this visit.

No google-analytics.com or googletagmanager.com requests.Show catalog-matched requests

Nothing observed

No third-party cookies observed

The automated visit did not observe third-party cookies.

This does not prove the site never uses cookies; it means this visit did not observe third-party cookies.

0 cookies total in this report.No third-party cookies observed.

Nothing observed

No fingerprint-like API calls observed

The scan did not observe the instrumented high-entropy browser APIs.

This is an observation layer, not proof that fingerprinting is impossible.

0 API families recorded.

Measurement limits

2 conditions affect how this evidence reads
  • This report is one automated, headless Chromium visit from a fixed en-US / UTC profile, with no scrolling, clicking, or consent interaction. Sites can behave differently for real users, browsers, regions, accounts, or network locations.
  • Counts are a lower bound: trackers that load only after interaction or consent are not observed; Service Workers are blocked, and Web Worker or WebSocket traffic may be incomplete. Service labels use a US-biased hand-curated catalog, so regional services may be under-labeled. Cookie and storage figures are an end-of-visit snapshot, with storage keys read from the top frame only.

This versioned report is currently retained in the public corpus. Follow the currently retained site history, repeat the same public route when it is available, or request a transparent evidence correction.

Provenance
Exact build and instrument digests were not recorded by this legacy schema.

Recorded provenance is self-reported measurement metadata, not a cryptographic attestation. The public versioned report JSON contains the retained public evidence; see the methodology for interpretation and retention limits.

This report covers what the scanner measures, not everything a site can do. 16 browser surfaces are not instrumented at all (Every page except the one that was scanned; Anything that only loads after scrolling or interaction; Why a request happened, as a causal chain; and 13 others), 3 capabilities are declined by policy, and 3 are outside what any single visit can see. Their absence from this report is not evidence that they did not occur. Read the published coverage boundary.

Detector accuracy is unmeasured. No calibration study currently publishes a precision or recall for the detectors on this page, so a detector match here is a recorded observation, not a calibrated classification. How detector accuracy is measured.

Approved use boundary: This report is investigative evidence that requires independent corroboration. It is not a standalone legal determination and not the sole exhibit in a legal proceeding. Recorded in this project's release manifest on .
