Hi DavidR,

Agree with you that not having Avast Secure Browser brought to Google-Android for instance is unfortunate, as Brave browser has been brought there, and I use it a lot on mobile's. Even so as Avast Secure Browser is a chromium based browser of sorts.  :D

uMatrix is not particularly complex either, just allow minimal settings to let the page function properly and know what sites to shun.

This is certainly not a false positive, the detection was triggering a redirection script.
However, as this is on ebay, I will let it pass and disable the detection, but if anyone from ebay is reading this, beware that I am strongly against this behavior!

Hmm...As upset as I was about this, If this is the case
We users would want Avast to stand the ground
We also would "strongly object to this behavior"
I hope they lost a lot of money with this. > :-(

To support this above vision, I recently scanned at Zulu Zscaler's, which results agree delivering a VirusTotal Content Check,
that produces a Positives count of 3 with a risk score of 30; all this for the code at
-hXtps://www.ebay.com/rdr/js/s/rrbundle.flat.min.js.

However the above risk grade does not lead to a VT flag by any of the known av-solutions.
A risk score of 30 denotes that application/javascript; charset=UTF-8 here is questionable to say the least,
