      You are right, I ran the test on Mull + uBlock Origin on a phone running an ad/tracker blocker at OS level, and this tool reported connections that I couldn’t find in my logs.

      It however helped me identify appmetrica.yandex.ru which was not blocked.

    I get 90% on both mobile and PC.

    Firefox on PC with UBlock Origin. Fennec on Android with UBlock Origin.

    Both are behind an AdGuard DNS but I think UBlock Origin does most of the heavy lifting here.

    If I turn off the “cosmetic filter” it goes up to 92% 🤷

    Edit:

    Adding the following to “My filters” in UBlock Origin brought it up to 97%

    @@*$redirect-rule

    100% with cosmetic filter disabled

    This test is wrong for sure. It doesn’t detect YouTube ads as being blocked despite them never appearing in this browser thanks to ublock origin.

    I also highly doubt that any domain from DoubleClick.com would be allowed through ubo.

      Yeah, I have a quite aggressive pihole and a lot of the domains it says aren’t blocked are 100% blacklisted in pihole (and testing them gives an error message so they are blocked…)

      Mull (Firefox) + uBlock + PiHole.

    96% on /e/OS with the Mull browser with uBlock and Privacy Badger

    92% on /e/ on the tor browser with the same extensions?? that’s weird

    Before adding “@@*$redirect-rule” to uBlock Origin filters:

    After adding “@@*$redirect-rule” to uBlock Origin filters:

    • With uMatrix enabled: 100%, 150/150 blocked.
    • With uMatrix disabled: 85%, 127/150 blocked.

    Using Firefox with uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger and some others.

    Testing at 100% w/Firefox + ABP + AdGuard home DNSBL and upstream DNS blocking. Need to get uMatrix back on here.

    I’ve been using UBlock for years and was surprised that out of the box, AdGuard had a much better score!

    96%

    Using mull+ublock for android on GrapheneOS with DoT on Adguard Home.

    Interesting, I can’t block ads. youtube and ads.twitter but they are added into my blocking lists. Sus.

    this test has been known to have problems on Firefox. 90% Firefox+ublock+nextdns, 99% after using the fix they recommend @@*$redirect-rule in your rules.

    These results are not at all what I expected. Safari + several blockers seems to be best, followed by Brave of all browsers. Firefox and FF focus got the worst rating! I really thought Focus would do a better job. Then again, all cookies get deleted so at least that part won’t matter much.
