I get 82% (27 not blocked. I use Firefox ESR with uBlock and Privacy Badger.
You must log in or # to comment.
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.
100% because i have javascript disabled.
RMS approves
I have 100 with JavaScript enabled
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.
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…
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.
100% on Safari on iOS with AdGuard and PiHol
Same but with adguard home and not pihole
100% on Safari on iOS with Wipr.
4% is good, right guys?
Better than 3% for sure.
33% better, actually.
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
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-rule100% with cosmetic filter disabled
Thanks for the edit, that fixed mine up to 97% as well.

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.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.
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
I didn’t know people actually used /e/os. not meant to be a dig I’d just never seen it in the wild.
Im otherwise just lurking but now you’ve witnessed two of us on /e/os ;)
Make that three!
Yeah I really like it! What do you use?

89% with firefox for android with ublock origin and decentraleyes.
Testing at 100% w/Firefox + ABP + AdGuard home DNSBL and upstream DNS blocking. Need to get uMatrix back on here.
93% with NextDNS and HaGeZi Ultimate.
100% with Cromite’s built-in ad blocker + adguard filtering
88% with Mull (default ublock settings)
97% on FF Android with ublock origin. Adguard Home is my network DNS as well.
