Port scanning from an external host is fine and dandy, but doing it on localhost from the user's browser crosses the line, IMO.

Then why did your "user agent" permit it? Seems rather anti-user.

I use uMatrix, and only thanks to that I realized my bank is doing this too a long time ago.

Regardless, your user agent still tries to.
