MODERATORS
93% with Firefox and privacy badger on Windscribe VPN adblocking enabled. 55% with Windscribe disabled.
74% with ublock origin for Firefox
96% using Android Firefox Beta with ublock, nextdns, and a VPN.
Nextdns AND a VPN? 🤔
I pretty much always use a VPN these days because I hate Comcast and don't like them seeing my traffic. I like nextDNS because it gives me centralized management and filtering of DNS for all my devices, it's definitely worth the $20 a year. I forgot to mention I also have the extensions CanvasBlocker, WebRTC Blocker, and LocalCDN but I think it is likely just ublock origin (and nextDNS filtering) that got my score to 96%.
93% on my iPad with an ahaDNS profile installed. The only thing that makes it through are Apple’s stuff. All things considered, I’m fine with that.
81% using Firefox on Android with uBlock on a pi-holed network
What blocklist do you have? I have the default one and am getting 79% with your same setup
Aside from the built-in lists I have AdGuard Mobile, EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Malicious URLs and Peter Lowe's list
87% with NoScript, Privacy Badger, uBlock
93% with Firefox and Ghostery behind Windscribe VPN. I've got a few other addons disabled like Decentraleyes and Ublock, but a combination of those with Ghostery didn't do any higher. Pretty sure I disabled them because Ghostery did everything they did. The stuff let in are to make websites like Youtube and Google usable. It's a tradeoff.
79% with firefox with ublock, and pihole dns with stock blocklist
53% with stock Firefox Focus on Samsung galaxy
99% in Firefox with uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes and AdGuard Home.

Was getting 71% on Librewolf with only uBlock Origin. Enabled every blocklist in the extension and am now getting 100%. Thanks for sharing!
90 % with UBO+Pihole
96% with Brave Browser (android) and DNS66 (custom block list)
91% on mobile Firefox with ublock origin and adguard dns blocker on my home network.
Interestingly, I get a better result with only nextdns profile with hagi pro on iOS 87%, compared to nextdns + iCloud private relay 37%. What gives? Nextdns still handles my requests with private relay enabled, I can see it in the logs of nextdns.
I also use the Firefox focus safari extension.
Score is also slightly less with nextdns and proton vpn at 81%.
I rather liked to iCloud private relay nextdns combo, should i change.
Orion gave me 100%, but that browser isn’t as polished compared to safari on iOS.

5% on stock chrome for Android. Guess this week is the week I switch to firefox mobile (73% with stock uBlock Origin)
88% brave android, then adjusted my nextdns deny list , now 100% 😁😁 peeps on adguard, move to nextdns. adguard owned by Russians so I'm told.
93% blocked running on my exentionless chrome on my phone. Damn I love pihole.
83 with Firefox, uBlock, Privacy Badger and DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials
96% on Brave at home (pfBlocker).
81% on Firefox with uBlock Origin at home (pfBlocker).
97% with Vivaldi and 87% with Mull +uBlock Origin... That's surprising.
I got 100% in Vivaldi on mobile by going into the settings and selecting "Block trackers and ads" and then selecting every single one of their ad blocking sources (the list was from all different countries). That got me 100% with no addtional add ons.
90% on Vanadium (which has no ad blocker) + Mullvad VPN. Good enough.
I got 73% in Vanadium + mullvad VPN... I also have adguard-dns set up.
That's insane. I only got 62% on Vanadium + Proton VPN + nextdns.
Try adding some blocklists, maybe the Hagezi ones. I remember NextDNS being quite good at that test.
Just trying on mobile first, 57% in the in-app browser and 55% in Vivaldi vs 87% in Firefox. Even if the percentage is wrong it's interesting for comparing between browsers. Looking forward to trying on desktop (I haven't seen an ad on desktop in years) and seeing if I can improve adblocking on my phone later today
91% On Firefox with Privacy Badger, Nord VPN, Ghostery, a DNS filter as well.
75% on Mull with Ublock origin... I need an alternative but I like Firefox.
87 % on mobile, 97 % on the desktop
89% without @@*$redirect-rule in My Filters, 96% with it added. Just using uBlock Origin with all filters on regular Fennec for Android (Firefox stable fork), and dns.adguard-dns.com private DNS sprinkled on top. Getting rid of that redirect rule though since I'm guessing it'll just cause breakage for me.
With the inbuild Vivaldi adblocker
Enabled only two filterlists
- https://downloads.vivaldi.com/easylist/easylist-current.txt
- https://github.com/StUser4pda/filtrite/releases/latest/download/bromite-4pda.txt
Apart other 2 for blocking cookie advices.
100% with just uBlock Origin
