Logic behind Trackers and Ad Block

Description of the issue:

I developed a simple visitor counter which is a simple SVG image that counts the number of users that visit a page. I don’t understand why my SVG is blocked whereas other visitor counters such as HITS and Visitor badge work.

Exact URL of the website in question:

Did the issue present with default Shields settings? (yes/no)

Yes

Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off?
Yes

Is there a specific Shields configuration that causes the site to break? If so, tell us that configuration. (yes/no):

Tracker and ad block (standard)

Does the site work as expected when using Chrome?

Yes

Brave version (check About Brave):

Version 1.17.73 Chromium: 87.0.4280.67 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Windows 10

Hi, Technically that is still tracking a user, which is why it was blocked

So are other visitor counters. Why are they working??

Submit websites where you see this, can look into it

Both url’s are blocked on both pages

It’s blocked in Easyprivacy due to the string /hitcounter/* btw.

Wow. Thanks for the help. Replacing hitcounter with another string fixed it. :+1:
