Why is the Browser Highlighter inserting JavaScript on pages while I browse? |
| |
The Browser Highlighter contains a wide range of functionality from popping up real-time eBay auction alerts to displaying deals on eBay products when product names are found in pages. As with any plugin, the Browser Highlighter modifies page content in order to display the overlays. Only pages that meet a certain criteria are tagged for overlay support, but when a page is tagged, a small amount javascript is inserted into the page to make the overlay functional.

Why is The Browser highlighter inserting JavaScript into the pages that I browse? |
| |
The Browser Highlighter contains a wide range of functionality from pushing out eBay listing alerts to letting users see live eBay listings on other shopping pages. When our overlays are shown on a page a small amount JavaScript is inserted into the page to make the overlay functional such as fetching search results and handling certain types of browser events. The Browser Highlighter only shows these overlays on pages that meet a certain criteria. This type of JavaScript insertion is an approach used by many other plugin makers and has little if any effect on the page you are viewing. If you for some reason the Browser Highlighter is effecting how a page you visit functions, please let us know by filling out this form click here. |
