New tab page: Ad block stat count incrementally increases #1311
Comments
Reproduced on Linux with only Chrome pages in background. Saw stats increment on its own but wasn't a running count just a few increments |
I have been able to successfully reproduce with high consistency on MacOS 0.55.20. Number of trackers blocked will increase rapidly in view. Was also reported here: https://www.reddit.com/r/BATProject/comments/9r5s7o/espncom_causes_glitch_in_the_new_brave_browser_ad/ Steps to reproduce:
Remarks: When inspecting ESPN.com with developer tools, the network tab shows a constant stream of attempted requests. It could be that the tracker counter is actually working "properly" and counting those endless requests as attempted trackers. Sometimes ESPN.com will never fully load, in which case you will not reproduce. But a few refreshes will have ESPN.com fully load, and then the above occurs. I have pasted a screenshot of my network tab; the requests are endless and tracker count is rapidly incrementing. |
Had a user point out what @Miyayes mentioned above: |
+1 from https://community.brave.com/t/brave-browser-stats-skyrocketing-without-additional-browsing/35317 @rebron @bbondy we should probably fix this soon. There are several reports on this already both internal and on community. |
Added this to Shields project, and upped it from P3 to P2 so it gets attention. |
I found this rule applied to allow similar domains on easyprivacy: So I think we should just add another rule like this to our list: |

Description
I've repro'd this issue a few times on Windows, but not 100% of the time. That said, I'm seeing it enough times to open an issue, in case anyone else reports it.
On Brave Core, win10, I've noticed that in some instances, when I have a few tabs in a window, if I open a new tab, the ads blocked stat counter will continually increase while in view.
The inactive tabs behind the new tab do not indicate any autoplay occurring, and I'm observing the ad block count increase in the new tab page.
From a typical user POV, it seems like unexpected behavior, since it doesn't appear that other tabs are active, and autoplay is not running.
Steps to Reproduce
Actual result:
In some cases, I see the "ads blocked" brave stat count increase.
Expected result:
"ads blocked" count should remain static with all other inactive tabs in the background.
Reproduces how often:
Intermittent.
Brave version (chrome://version info)
Reproducible on current release:
Website problems only:
