How to read this page
Eligibility and limits
- Each row is the newest successful, request-complete, uncapped passive lead visit for one canonical site.
- Failed loads, incomplete recordings and accept/reject consent-interaction arms are excluded.
- Catalogued tracking-service counts are a lower bound based on the project's reviewed service catalog.
- Category membership is editorial. The corpus is curated and is not a random or representative web sample.
- A controlled visit is one observation. Ads, experiments, caching, location and bot detection can change what loads.
- Blocking pairs simulate Brave's ad-block engine and default lists in the scanner; they are not live Brave-browser visits or counts of individually blocked requests.
