Well i tested ebay site on different browser i go to ebay on Edge for the first time yea i see "check" then i click "Refresh icon" again "check" is gone i tried refresh 2-3 times no found "check" i clear the browser (cookies, cached and data) i close Edge and open it again then i go to ebay its there! i tried different browser Edge & Chrome without uBlock Origin same its there!, it mean you havent visited ebay for a while on the browser so you go to ebay again it found "check" in without uBlock Origin. If you visited ebay in the same browser before i think you might not see "check" you have to clear cookied, cached and site data then you will see ''check''

With uBlock Origin you can see "check'' text red in any browser (chromium) except Firefox you cant see ''Check" which blocked it

in Vivaldi/Edge/Chrome i saw check.js text red it mean blocked?

SumTingWong Refreshing the page after loading like that won't work. It has to be like this 👇 I also tested on Private browsing mode so it probably don't show up when it already has cache on the browser.

CyberTech You're right. If the cache is there then it doesn't load. I always checked in Private/Incognito mode that's why I have it always except refreshing the page.

Both UBO on both browsers have EasyPrivacy filter enable and up-to-date.

Well first of all, you have to clear ebay cookie, cache and site date then open the logger and then go to ebay site you will see "check"

Can see "check" :
Dont block 3rd party scripts
Dont refresh ebay page


Cant see "check":
block 3rd party scripts (i dont know why)
refresh after loading it

A recent update to an ad block filter list now allows the uBlock Origin extension to block most of the known sites that perform port scans of your local Windows computer.

A few weeks ago, we reported that eBay is using fraud detection scripts that port scan a visitor's computer for Windows remote access programs.
