This report has a reviewed clarification

SBL-CORR-2026-001: The historical input-probe disclosure overstates coverage. Unload-only transmissions were not reliably recorded. Focus and blur handlers could run, and per-field failures were not fully counted. These reports cannot establish absence of input transmission outside their retained observations.

Evidence quality

This report is built on an incomplete visit

Incomplete evidence: evidence was cut short before completion (detector output evidence was censored before completion — the privacy-policy link search did not finish (recorded loss count: 1)). Counts for the affected evidence are lower bounds; families that completed carry only their ordinary limits. The evidence receipt states the exact per-visit quality.

Worth checking

Bottom line: this visit has review-worthy signals

The scan observed signals a non-expert should not have to decode from raw request tables. Some detector evidence was incomplete; each affected detector card states its own retained or unavailable scope, while completed request, cookie, and storage measurements keep their recorded exactness.

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.

120 requests observed in one controlled visit.

Worth checking

11 of 98 requests the engine evaluated matched Brave Shields filter lists

11 requests matched the default filter lists of Brave Shields, the ad and tracker blocker built into the Brave browser, while loading normally.

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

Context

This GPC comparison supports no comparable delta

The pair did not record the network egress region for both visits, and an unrecorded condition never counts as matching.

The raw request logs of both visits remain below for transparency, but the diff between them supports no claim about what the compared condition changed.

1 disqualifying condition named by the report's claim policy.

Context

Privacy policy read; it made no statement this scan can check

None of the statements this scan knows how to check appear in the policy text, so nothing was compared against this visit's evidence (no catalogued tracking companies observed to check against it). That is a limit of the automated check, not a finding about the site either way.

Statements checked automatically: blanket no-cookie claims, third-party-cookie claims, and combined do-not-sell-or-share claims against advertising-pixel identifier fields. Global Privacy Control claims are never checked against request counts, which cannot show whether selling or sharing stopped. Evidence collection was cut short, so this covers only what was recorded before the cutoff.

Policy at https://duckduckgo.com/{seg}/privacy/{seg}; 0 checkable statements matched; no catalogued tracking companies observed to check against it.

GPC Comparison

GPC off and GPC on: two visits, no comparable metric delta

GPC off: 7,054msGPC on: 6,811ms
No metric deltas are comparable across these two visits, so none are shown.
  • Request, cookie, and storage deltas (each visit's own evidence still renders below): The pair did not record the network egress region for both visits, and an unrecorded condition never counts as matching.
  • Catalog-matched request and entity deltas (each visit's own evidence still renders below): The pair did not record the network egress region for both visits, and an unrecorded condition never counts as matching.
  • Other detector and causal-path deltas (each visit's own evidence still renders below): The pair did not record the network egress region for both visits, and an unrecorded condition never counts as matching. The baseline visit did not completely capture this evidence family, so its values are unavailable or incomplete rather than comparable totals. The variant visit did not completely capture this evidence family, so its values are unavailable or incomplete rather than comparable totals.
  • The Shields-number delta (each visit's own evidence still renders below): The pair did not record the network egress region for both visits, and an unrecorded condition never counts as matching.
  • Fingerprinting deltas (each visit's own evidence still renders below): At least one visit did not complete the fingerprint measurement, so no exact cross-visit delta is shown.
  • Ad-pixel deltas (each visit's own evidence still renders below): At least one visit did not complete the pixel measurement, so no exact cross-visit delta is shown.

Measurement limits

4 conditions affect how this evidence reads

Both visits

  • Each visit in 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 scan typed a synthetic test value into 1 form field (never submitting the form) to test whether typed input is captured and sent to third parties. The value is synthetic and is not stored. Requests the page sent during and after this typing, including any unload beacons, are part of the recorded request log and counts.
  • Read the site's privacy policy (https://duckduckgo.com/{seg}/privacy/{seg}) and compared its text against this visit's observed behavior. Policy checks are an automated text match with the matched sentences quoted, not a legal reading.

How to use this report

Read the findings and measurement limits first, then inspect the evidence for each recorded visit. Comparisons include both visits, even where a difference cannot be interpreted.

Keep this PDF with its evidence package: the source JSON, correction context, export receipt and SHA256SUMS. The package preserves source bytes and the correction context at export time. Hashes check file consistency; they do not establish independent measurement accuracy or a signed attestation.

Request attribution map

Which actor each third-party request is attributed to, from the initiator the browser reported. Attribution, not causation: an initiator may itself have been told what to fetch, and requests with no reported initiator are not distinguished from ones fetched from several. Asterisks mark subdomain labels hidden for privacy.

No third-party requests were recorded, so attribution coverage is not applicable.

No retained third-party request has one recorded actor to draw. This is not evidence that no actor was involved: the visit may have reported no actor or several actors for the same request.

Visit phases & state changes

3 phases

Request counts are retained request rows whose start fell in each phase. A phase with no retained rows does not prove that no traffic occurred; some phase traffic can be intentionally excluded from the public request log.

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. 17 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 14 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 .

Reports record one automated visit per condition; visits may be incomplete. On restart-safe deployments, an interrupted visit may be retried; attempts are never merged. Results describe these visits, not everything a site can do.
