I get 82% (27 not blocked. I use Firefox ESR with uBlock and Privacy Badger.

100% because i have javascript disabled.
RMS approves
I have 100 with JavaScript enabled
100% on Safari on iOS with AdGuard and PiHol
Same but with adguard home and not pihole
100% on Safari on iOS with Wipr.
These tools aren’t a reliable indicator of your protection. See here.
F, that’s the guy who made uBlock… I shouldn’t have posted this…
You could make an edit to your original post explaining the limitations of the method

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.
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.
My setup (Firefox+uBlockOrigin) blocks Doubleclick.net. Also, ads.youtube.com is under Social Trackers, maybe it’s not the actual ads on youtube, but some tracker? BTW, I have no idea how the internet works, maybe it is wrong…
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.
YouTube ads are just other YouTube videos that you can watch willingly if you know their ID. The mechanism of serving them might therefore not involve the client connecting to any domains other than
www.youtube.com, and it probably doesn’t or it would be very easy to block them otherwise.
I opened this in Connect’s in app browser and got a whopping 4%. Good reminder to change app settings to use your browser instead of whatever their internal browser is
4% is good, right guys?
Better than 3% for sure.
Seems to be misreporting (Adguard home + ublock origin + FF). With ublock off I get a higher percentage than with it on (93% vs 91%). It’s reporting things as not blocked while they are clearly blocked (all requests show blocked in inspector)
See here for more information. You are correct that the tool is fairly useless.
91% with pihole + ublock on Firefox. Time to add some domains to the blacklist
Yup got the same except adguard instead of pihole. Will add the remaining to a block list also.
100% with Cromite’s built-in ad blocker + adguard filtering
88% with Mull (default ublock settings)
100% with iOS Safari, Wipr, and Adguard Home on network level.
Wipr is pretty nice.
100% on Safari with just Wipr.
Trying a few different browsers I have installed:
- Firefox in Strict mode with LocalCDN: 42% (eww)
- Brave (stock): 72%
- Brave w/ stock uBlock Origin: 78%
- 100% w/ custom filters enabled
- Opera w/ uBlock: 75%
- Vivaldi (stock): 55%
- LibreWolf w/ uBlock and LocalCDN: 70%
this test has been known to have problems on Firefox. 90% Firefox+ublock+nextdns, 99% after using the fix they recommend
@@*$redirect-rulein your rules.89% with firefox for android with ublock origin and decentraleyes.
93% with NextDNS and HaGeZi Ultimate.
99%
This is with Firefox in strict privacy mode with uBlock, Privacy Possum, Local CDN and CanvasBlocker. I don’t think any other of my addons matter for this.Edit: I also use Mullvad VPN which might block some stuff on the way too.
