much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
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
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
this test has been known to have problems on Firefox. 90% Firefox+ublock+nextdns, 99% after using the fix they recommend
@@*$redirect-rule
in your rules.
89% with firefox for android with ublock origin and decentraleyes.
95% - Firefox + Privacy Badger + Ublock Origin + VPN.
The sites that are "not blocked" are sites I've specifically allowed because I use them.
96% on /e/OS with the Mull browser with uBlock and Privacy Badger
92% on /e/ on the tor browser with the same extensions?? that's weird
I didn't know people actually used /e/os. not meant to be a dig I'd just never seen it in the wild.
Testing at 100% w/Firefox + ABP + AdGuard home DNSBL and upstream DNS blocking. Need to get uMatrix back on here.
93% with NextDNS and HaGeZi Ultimate.
Trying a few different browsers I have installed:
- Firefox in Strict mode with LocalCDN: 42% (eww)
- Brave (stock): 72%
- Brave w/ stock uBlock Origin: 78%
- 100% w/ custom filters enabled
- Opera w/ uBlock: 75%
- Vivaldi (stock): 55%
- LibreWolf w/ uBlock and LocalCDN: 70%
100% with Cromite's built-in ad blocker + adguard filtering
88% with Mull (default ublock settings)
100% with iOS Safari, Wipr, and Adguard Home on network level.
100% on Safari with just Wipr.
Wipr is pretty nice.
91% with pihole + ublock on Firefox. Time to add some domains to the blacklist
99%
This is with Firefox in strict privacy mode with uBlock, Privacy Possum, Local CDN and CanvasBlocker. I don't think any other of my addons matter for this.
Edit: I also use Mullvad VPN which might block some stuff on the way too.
Firefox focus gave me a 93% while fennec gave me a 91%. I run ControlD as a DoH provider that is suposed to block ads, trackers, malware, and big social (X, spybook, instabully, etc). I am also running ublock origin in fennec.
Edit: damn, adding privacy badger took it from 91% to 96%.
Edit 2: ouch
- Fennec + privacy badger 39%
- Fennec + privacy badger + ublock 87%
- Fennec + privacy badger + ublock + Controld DNS 96%
Before adding "@@*$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.
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%
Firefox (Fennec) on Android. uBlock Origin with every single block list enabled.
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.
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.
I got 100%. Using Mull on android (Firefox fork) with Ublock.
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.
97% on FF Android with ublock origin. Adguard Home is my network DNS as well.
87% with Firefox on MIUI. I think I have some custom ublock filters? Not sure because my config was copied from my PC.
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.
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.
93% on mobile (Firefox + ublock + pihole) 84% on desktop (Firefox + unlock + pihole)
91% on Chrome mobile behind PiHole. Fairly good for a minimum effort whole network solution.
Got 100% on ios using Orion with Ublock-origin
69% on my network alone. More once I turn ublock origin on :)
100% using Orion on macOS, no extensions.
It's a damn shame that browser only exists on the mac. When it comes to Linux, I'm going for it.
I really like Kagi. If their browser is half as good as their search engine is its going to be fantastic.
91%, Firefox with ublock and Privacy Badger on a network with pfBlockerNg.
Got 92% on Firefox iOS in strict mode, with pfblocker. Tried safari but the test won’t even start.
I've been using UBlock for years and was surprised that out of the box, AdGuard had a much better score!
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.
4% on duck duck go browser. 87% on fennec.
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.
Wow I only get 62%. Using Vanadium on GrapheneOS over a network with DNS blocking.
