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...

[–] N4CHEM@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

You could make an edit to your original post explaining the limitations of the method

[–] Uplink@programming.dev 9 points 1 year ago

RMS approves

[–] jvrava9@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I have 100 with JavaScript enabled

[–] Knuschberkeks@feddit.de 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

100% on Safari on iOS with AdGuard and PiHol

[–] gdbjr@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Same but with adguard home and not pihole

[–] zwekihoyy@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

89% with firefox for android with ublock origin and decentraleyes.

[–] Jaysyn@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

95% - Firefox + Privacy Badger + Ublock Origin + VPN.

The sites that are "not blocked" are sites I've specifically allowed because I use them.

[–] KrimsonBun@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] zwekihoyy@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I didn't know people actually used /e/os. not meant to be a dig I'd just never seen it in the wild.

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

[–] zark 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

93% with NextDNS and HaGeZi Ultimate.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 5 points 1 year ago

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%
[–] Tatar_Nobility@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

100% with Cromite's built-in ad blocker + adguard filtering

88% with Mull (default ublock settings)

[–] micha@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

100% with iOS Safari, Wipr, and Adguard Home on network level.

[–] dan@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

100% on Safari with just Wipr.

[–] Espi@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Wipr is pretty nice.

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

91% with pihole + ublock on Firefox. Time to add some domains to the blacklist

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.

[–] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Firefox focus gave me a 93% while fennec gave me a 91%. I run ControlD as a DoH provider that is suposed to block ads, trackers, malware, and big social (X, spybook, instabully, etc). I am also running ublock origin in fennec.

Edit: damn, adding privacy badger took it from 91% to 96%.

Edit 2: ouch

  • Fennec + privacy badger 39%
  • Fennec + privacy badger + ublock 87%
  • Fennec + privacy badger + ublock + Controld DNS 96%
[–] kbity@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

  • With uMatrix enabled: 99%, everything except ads-api.twitter.com and ads.youtube.com was blocked.
  • With uMatrix disabled: 83%, 125/150 blocked.

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.

[–] Mikelius 4 points 1 year ago

96% but it's not accurate. Verified on my DNS logs that the two it claimed weren't blocked, actually resolved to 0.0.0.0 correctly, so I'm actually at 100%

[–] FarLine99@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Firefox (Fennec) on Android. uBlock Origin with every single block list enabled.

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[–] Draz@lemmy.fmhy.net 4 points 1 year ago

I got 100%. Using Mull on android (Firefox fork) with Ublock.

[–] Onihikage 4 points 1 year ago

90% with my normal setup, but I highly doubt it's correct because:

  • literally everything in uMatrix except first-party scripts is blocked
  • it goes up to 93% when I turn off uBO, yet the page loads way more slowly which makes no sense

The site does say uBO on Firefox has unknown issues, so I'll attribute it to that.

[–] Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

97% on FF Android with ublock origin. Adguard Home is my network DNS as well.

[–] sneezycat@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

87% with Firefox on MIUI. I think I have some custom ublock filters? Not sure because my config was copied from my PC.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I get 100% on both desktop and mobile.

Desktop: Firefox with uBO, Disconnect, Privacy Badger, and Decentraleyes

Mobile: Safari, Firefox Focus, Orion (with uBO and Privacy Badger) + AdGuard and AhaDNS Blitz

All these plus ControlD and AdGuard as DNS + manually added blocklists on my router.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 3 points 1 year ago

89% according to the tool, but should be 100%. The tool itself says it can't detect it in some cases. I manually checked the 16 domains it flagged aa unfiltered and neither of them worked.

[–] Still@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

93% on mobile (Firefox + ublock + pihole) 84% on desktop (Firefox + unlock + pihole)

[–] CyprianSceptre@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

91% on Chrome mobile behind PiHole. Fairly good for a minimum effort whole network solution.

[–] yoshisaur@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Got 100% on ios using Orion with Ublock-origin

[–] bjornp_@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

69% on my network alone. More once I turn ublock origin on :)

[–] EarlTurlet@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

100% using Orion on macOS, no extensions.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a damn shame that browser only exists on the mac. When it comes to Linux, I'm going for it.

[–] Espi@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I really like Kagi. If their browser is half as good as their search engine is its going to be fantastic.

[–] foo@withachanceof.com 3 points 1 year ago

91%, Firefox with ublock and Privacy Badger on a network with pfBlockerNg.

[–] errorlab@artemis.camp 3 points 1 year ago

Got 92% on Firefox iOS in strict mode, with pfblocker. Tried safari but the test won’t even start.

[–] datendefekt@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] gigachad@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

84% on Fennec mobile with AdAway, uBlock Origin, Privacy Possum, Ad Nauseum and DecentralEyes. A lot of sites seem to be wrongly reported though, ad.doubleclick.net for example.

[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

4% on duck duck go browser. 87% on fennec.

[–] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I added advice-ads.s3.amazonaws.com and ads.youtube.com to my ublock filter and those two still aren't getting blocked, anybody know how fix? the other two sites I added block fine.

[–] sibloure 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow I only get 62%. Using Vanadium on GrapheneOS over a network with DNS blocking.
