What this actually means

linkedin.com recorded 18 fewer third-party requests in the visit configured for Brave-list blocking.

The visit with no blocking made 64 requests; the visit configured to apply Brave's ad-block engine and default Shields filter lists (a simulation in this scanner's browser, not a live Brave-browser visit) recorded 18 fewer third-party requests. The blocker directly stopped 13 requests; the remaining difference may include follow-on requests that never started once their sources were blocked, plus run-to-run variance.

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.

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.

64 requests observed in one controlled visit.

Worth checking

25 requests matched Brave Shields filter lists

25 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 34 request rows in this visit.Show matched requests

Nothing observed

Lower values observed across comparable metrics in the Brave-list blocking attempt

With the scanner configured to apply Brave's ad-block engine and default Shields filter lists (a simulation in this scanner's browser, not a live Brave-browser visit; application was not verified), this paired visit showed 18 fewer third-party requests, 10 fewer third-party cookies and 9 fewer tracking-related service requests.

Services only seen in the unblocked visit: Adobe, Google and Meta, plus 1 other. The blocking visit's engine directly blocked 13 requests; the remaining difference may include follow-on requests that never started once their sources were blocked. A single paired comparison can also reflect run-to-run variance (ad rotation, caching, experiments), so treat this as an observed difference, not a measured blocking rate.

Signed per-metric differences between the two visits; nothing is summed across metrics.Show matched requests

Context

Tracking companies the privacy policy does not appear to name

Adobe, Google and Meta were sent requests during this visit, but the policy text matched none of the names this scan knows those companies by.

Policies often disclose vendor categories rather than company names, so an unnamed vendor is a transparency gap worth reviewing, not automatically a violation. Named in the policy: LinkedIn and Microsoft.

Policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy; 0 checkable statements matched; 2 of 5 observed tracking companies named in the policy.

Context

Catalogued service domains recorded responses during this visit

LinkedIn, Adobe and Google, plus 2 others appeared in the request log.

A catalog match identifies a maintainer-reviewed service/domain mapping; it does not establish why an individual request occurred, what it carried, or whether profiling happened. Functional catalog labels include social / advertising pixel, analytics / advertising and advertising. This scan could not identify 2 of the 9 third-party hosts recorded here, so it cannot say who operates them. That is a limit of identity coverage, not evidence about the site.

46 cross-site requests across 9 third-party hosts.Modest distinct tracking-service entities count.Show third-party requests

Worth checking

Requests were dispatched to catalogued major-platform domains

This visit dispatched requests to catalogued domains for Google, Meta and Microsoft, plus 1 other.

The domain matches identify services, not the requests' purpose, payload, or whether any profile linking occurred.

29 requests to these platforms.Show catalog-matched requests

Context

Advertising pixel requests contained event labels

Meta Pixel requests contained event labels during this visit.

No advanced-matching identifier fields are recorded in the decoded evidence. Unsupported payload formats and later interactions may carry other fields; older decoders did not record every decoding gap. Event labels do not establish user actions or successful delivery.

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

Worth checking

Third-party cookies were present

10 third-party cookies showed up during the visit.

The scanner observed cookie metadata whose domain crossed the scanned site's registrable-domain boundary. This report does not retain cookie values or partition keys, so it does not establish whether a cookie was a persistent identifier or could recognize a visitor across sites.

19 cookies total in this report.Elevated third-party cookies count (at or above the 5 reference threshold).

Context

Input-monitoring signal involving a third-party script

Listener coverage that could observe typing-related input events was registered through call chains that included a third-party script.

This is a behavioral instrumentation signal from listener registration, stack-attributed script origins, and known-vendor requests: it shows the page was instrumented to observe interaction, not that anything was transmitted. Stack attribution records the script origins present in the bounded registration call chain; a cross-site origin in that chain does not by itself establish that the cross-site script registered the listener, because first-party code can register its own listeners through a helper served from elsewhere. A different registrable domain is also not by itself a different operator: sites commonly serve their own scripts from a separate asset domain, so the card says third party only when the catalog or reviewed ownership attributes an origin to another organization. On scanners that run the active keystroke-capture probe, actual transmission is tested separately (a synthetic value is typed, never real input, and no typed values are collected); treat this card as a review prompt rather than proof.

44 interaction-listener registrations with https://static.licdn.com/ in the registration call chain and 14 input-listener registrations with https://static.licdn.com/ in the registration call chain

Worth checking

Behavioral fingerprinting heuristics matched

3 behavioral heuristics matched: Canvas fingerprinting heuristic, Offline audio rendering heuristic and WebRTC peer-connection probing.

These heuristics look for behavior patterns such as canvas readback after drawing, repeated canvas font measurement, WebGL entropy reads, offline audio rendering, or WebRTC peer-connection setup. They are review prompts for this visit, not proof of cross-site identity tracking.

2 canvases matched; reads: canvas.toDataURL, 2 offline renders with audio.OfflineAudioContext.createDynamicsCompressor, audio.OfflineAudioContext.createOscillator and audio.OfflineAudioContext.startRendering and 2 peer connections with 2 data channels, 2 offers, and 2 local descriptions

Brave Shields Comparison

No blocking → Brave-list blocking delta

No blocking: 9,810msBrave-list blocking: 3,137ms

Some deltas are not comparable across these two visits and are not shown.

Other detector and causal-path deltas (each visit's own evidence still renders below): v1 never recorded detector versions, so fingerprinting and pixel deltas cannot be proven to come from matching instrumentation.
The Shields-number delta (each visit's own evidence still renders below): The two visits measured different Shields quantities (filter-list matches vs engine-blocked requests), which must never share a delta.
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

8 conditions affect how this evidence reads

This report

Brave-list blocking comparison runs should be collected under matched crawl conditions, and the blocking run is a simulation with Brave's engine and default lists in this scanner's browser, not a live Brave visit. Differences can still reflect timing, experiments, cache state, consent state, or bot detection.
The two visits ran in randomized order; the "No blocking" visit ran first.

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.
Blocked a request that could not be verified as public: https://{label}.linkedin.com/{seg}/{seg}
Read the site's privacy policy (https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy) 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.

No blocking visit only

The page did not reach network idle before the scan window ended.

Brave-list blocking visit only

Brave Shields block simulation was enabled; matching requests were aborted before loading and are not included in request totals.

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.

Attributed requests: 27
Not attributable: 19
Third-party requests: 46

No unique actor could be assigned to 19 of these requests. That includes requests for which the browser reported no usable initiator, and repeated URLs seen with conflicting initiators. This report does not distinguish those causes, so they are counted together rather than drawn.

46 third-party requests: 27 attributed to a single recorded actor, 19 not attributable.

Request attribution map

Attributed requests: 19
Not attributable: 9
Third-party requests: 28

No unique actor could be assigned to 9 of these requests. That includes requests for which the browser reported no usable initiator, and repeated URLs seen with conflicting initiators. This report does not distinguish those causes, so they are counted together rather than drawn.

28 third-party requests: 19 attributed to a single recorded actor, 9 not attributable.

Automated Chromium scan using Playwright 1.62.1 from github-actions-ubuntu with browser 151.0.7922.34, timezone UTC, locale en-US, the listed viewport, and Brave Shields block simulation. Brave-list matching uses each route-evaluated request's initiating document (the parent document for a subframe navigation), under methodology shields-request-context-v2-adblock-rust-0.13.2-request-method-v1-playwright-1.62.1+subject-validity-v2+detector-coverage-v2; main-frame navigations are not blocked or counted as matches, and redirect follow-up URLs that Playwright does not re-route are not independently evaluated. Treat results as reproducible evidence for this scan configuration, not a universal claim about all visitors.

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 2026-08-02.
