[QUOTE="PotentialUser, post: 889980, member: 87776"] Thank you both for replying. And I appreciate the links [USER=68166]@redsworn[/USER]! I took a look at the GitHub pages redsworn linked and did some of my own research on the topic as well and have a question for both of you (feel free to both reply if you can :)).

It states the resources are highlighted in [B][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 255)]blue[/COLOR][/B] with the uncloaked sites displayed in a smaller font size under the canonical names. I've included the article's example image in this post. As you can see in the image below, a [B]cloudfront.net[/B] domain was attempting to mask a [B]mailmunch.co[/B] domain (which the Firefox version of uBO noticed and highlighted in [B][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 255)]blue[/COLOR][/B]). [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screen Shot 2020-06-16 at 1.34.07 PM.png"]242874[/ATTACH] However, when you take a look at the two images I supplied in my earlier post in this thread, in uBO Firefox, [B][U]neither[/U][/B] the [B]jagex.com[/B], nor the [B]runescape.com[/B] domains, were [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 255)][B]blue[/B][/COLOR] or had uncloaked sites listed in a smaller font underneath. Forgive me if this is a misunderstanding but doesn't this mean [B]jagex.com[/B] is [COLOR=rgb(255, 0, 0)][B][U]not[/U][/B][/COLOR] loading up as hidden first-party tracker? It is simply loading up like any other domain would and Microsoft Edge just didn't pick it up for some odd reason but Mozilla Firefox did? Which means in this case (only), this doesn't have anything to do with Chromium-based browsers lacking the ability to uncloak CNAMES. Because if this was a CNAME issue, then in Firefox, the [B]jagex.com[/B] domain would be listed under the [B]runescape.com[/B] domain in smaller font and both would be highlighted in [B][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 255)]blue[/COLOR][/B] to show that it was attempting to sneakily load up -- similar to how the [B]mailmunch.co[/B] domain was listed under the [B]cloudfront.net[/B] domain with both highlighted in [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 255)][B]blue[/B][/COLOR] in the image above.
