Evidence quality

This report is built on an incomplete visit

Incomplete evidence: evidence was cut short before completion (the scanner's search for a privacy-policy link did not cover every link on the page, so privacy-policy findings are incomplete). 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.

What this actually means

paypal.com recorded 11 fewer third-party requests in the visit configured for Brave-list blocking.

The visit with no blocking made 128 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 11 fewer third-party requests. The blocker directly stopped 22 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. 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.

128 requests observed in one controlled visit.

Worth checking

14 requests matched Brave Shields filter lists

14 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 1 request row in this visit.Show matched requests

Not flagged

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

The blocking visit ran with the scanner configured to apply Brave's ad-block engine and default Shields filter lists. It was a simulation in this scanner's browser, not a live Brave-browser visit, and application was not verified. Compared with the unblocked visit, it showed 11 fewer third-party requests and 1 fewer tracking-related service request.

Services only seen in the unblocked visit: Google. The blocking visit's engine directly blocked 22 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 cross-check not established

The page this scan read as the privacy policy held 1,978 characters of text, short enough to be the page before its policy loaded, so no policy text was compared against this visit's evidence. That is a limit of the automated check, not a finding about the site either way.

The scanner that recorded this visit read a policy page a fixed second after it began loading. Some pages render their policy later, and some had requests refused by the scan's own traffic budget, so a short read can be the page around a policy that never arrived. Company mentions and policy statements recorded from it are not used; later scanner versions wait for the page to settle and withhold such a read.

Page recorded as the policy: https://www.paypal.com/…/privacy/… (1,978 characters of text); no policy text compared.

Context

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 4 of the 7 third-party hosts recorded here, so it cannot say who operates them. That is a limit of identity coverage, not evidence about the site.

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.

1 request to these platforms.Show catalog-matched requests

Not flagged

Google Analytics present, no remarketing signal

Google Analytics was observed, but no DoubleClick remarketing sync appeared in this visit.

Standard analytics collection was observed, without the stats.g.doubleclick.net advertising sync.

Context

Third-party cookies were present

1 third-party cookie 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.

15 cookies total in this report.Modest third-party cookies count.

Context

Input-monitoring signal involving a script from another domain

Listener coverage that could observe typing-related input events was registered through call chains that included a script served from another registrable domain. This scan did not establish the operator of that 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. That is 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. The card therefore 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.

Session-recording listener coverage: 274 interaction-listener registrations with https://www.paypalobjects.com/ in the registration call chain. Input-monitoring listener coverage: 442 input-listener registrations with https://www.paypalobjects.com/ in the registration call chain.

Context

Fingerprint-like browser APIs were called

4 high-entropy API calls appeared in the instrumentation log.

These calls can be legitimate (charts, graphics, media), so the count is observational, not a severity score, and it excludes Web and Service Workers. Top calls: webgl.getParameter.UNMASKED_RENDERER_WEBGL and webgl.getParameter.UNMASKED_VENDOR_WEBGL.

2 API families recorded.

Brave Shields Comparison

No blocking → Brave-list blocking delta

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

7 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 "Brave-list 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.
  • The scanner's search of this page for a privacy-policy link did not cover every link, so privacy-policy findings for this visit are incomplete.
  • Read the site's privacy policy (https://www.paypal.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.

Brave-list blocking visit only

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

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 unique actor could be assigned to 50 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.

116 third-party requests: 66 attributed to a single recorded actor, 50 not attributable.

Brave-list blocking — evidence

2026-10-19T10:57:13.243Z · cut short: the scanner's search for a privacy-policy link did not cover every link on the page, so privacy-policy findings are incomplete; derived from status and warnings

Retained observations from this visit. Missing measurements do not establish absence of activity.

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
55
Not attributable
50
Third-party requests
105

No unique actor could be assigned to 50 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.

105 third-party requests: 55 attributed to a single recorded actor, 50 not attributable.

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.
