That panel reconstructs what a pixel would send from your own browser values, locally, and never makes the request. NextDNS seeing nothing is the tool working exactly as designed.

They're saying that the site simulates what would be sent to Facebook without actually sending the request to Facebook.

(I'm not sure if that's true, but I hope so)
