amnesty.org recorded 13 fewer third-party requests in the visit configured for Brave-list blocking.
The visit with no blocking made 54 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 13 fewer third-party requests. The blocker directly stopped 2 requests; the remaining difference may include follow-on requests that never started once their sources were blocked, plus run-to-run variance.
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. Where a measured distribution exists, severity ranks this visit against percentiles from the report's exact schema, methodology, tracker-catalog, ServiceRole-taxonomy, metric-contract, producer, and Global Privacy Control cohort, with each percentile card naming its metric-specific measured-site denominator (among 98 sites with a successful load across all cohorts; other methodologies, request-capped visits, and post-choice consent visits are excluded from this denominator, while failed or block-page attempts are outside that coverage), a curated set of popular, mostly commercial sites, not a random sample of the web, and otherwise uses fixed reference thresholds. The request log, domain table, and methodology remain below for verification.
54 requests observed in one controlled visit.
Context
8 requests matched Brave Shields filter lists
8 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.

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 13 fewer third-party requests, 2 fewer third-party cookies and 2 fewer tracking-related service requests.
Services only seen in the unblocked visit: Google. The blocking visit's engine directly blocked 2 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.

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 (1 of 1 observed tracking company named in the policy). 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.

Catalogued service domains recorded responses during this visit
Google 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 analytics / tag management. This scan could not identify 8 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.
15 cross-site requests across 9 third-party hosts.At or above the median for third-party domains across the 88 sites measured for this metric. Modest distinct tracking-service entities count.Show third-party requests
Context
Requests were dispatched to catalogued major-platform domains
This visit dispatched requests to catalogued domains for Google.
The domain matches identify services, not the requests' purpose, payload, or whether any profile linking occurred.
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.
10 cookies total in this report.At or above the median for third-party cookies across the 88 sites measured for this metric.
Context
Interaction-monitoring signal involving a script from another domain
Broad mouse, click, scroll, visibility and keyboard listener coverage was registered during the visit through call chains that included a script served from another registrable domain, whose operator this scan did not establish.
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.
10 interaction-listener registrations with https://*.cdn.civiccomputing.com/, https://*.pagesense.io/ and https://*.infogram.com/ in the registration call chain
Worth checking
Behavioral fingerprinting heuristics matched
2 behavioral heuristics matched: Canvas fingerprinting heuristic and Canvas font probing heuristic.
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.
1 canvas matched; reads: canvas.toDataURL and 58 measureText calls across up to 57 fonts; measured text contents are not stored

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 .
