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% on Safari on iOS with AdGuard and PiHol
Same but with adguard home and not pihole
100% on Safari on iOS with Wipr.
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.
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%
@@*$redirect-rule
100% with cosmetic filter disabled
I opened this in Connect's in app browser and got a whopping 4%. Good reminder to change app settings to use your browser instead of whatever their internal browser is
this test has been known to have problems on Firefox. 90% Firefox+ublock+nextdns, 99% after using the fix they recommend
@@*$redirect-rule
in your rules.
97% on FF Android with ublock origin. Adguard Home is my network DNS as well.
89% with firefox for android with ublock origin and decentraleyes.
4% on duck duck go browser. 87% on fennec.
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.
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.
Testing at 100% w/Firefox + ABP + AdGuard home DNSBL and upstream DNS blocking. Need to get uMatrix back on here.
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.
93% on mobile (Firefox + ublock + pihole) 84% on desktop (Firefox + unlock + pihole)
93% with NextDNS and HaGeZi Ultimate.
100% with iOS Safari, Wipr, and Adguard Home on network level.
100% on Safari with just Wipr.
Wipr is pretty nice.
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.
91% on Firefox for Android with I lock Origin and pfblockerng on my router.
Seems to still not work correctly. I remember a little while back that this testsite had issues with how uBlock Origin handled some blocking. Seems like the issue has not completely been fixed. Strange that the github issues all seem to have been closed. I find that kind of lazy and misleading.
69% on my network alone. More once I turn ublock origin on :)
91% on Chrome mobile behind PiHole. Fairly good for a minimum effort whole network solution.
Got 100% on ios using Orion with Ublock-origin
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.
91% with pihole + ublock on Firefox. Time to add some domains to the blacklist
I got 100%. Using Mull on android (Firefox fork) with Ublock.
Wow I only get 62%. Using Vanadium on GrapheneOS over a network with DNS blocking.
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.
Seems to be misreporting (Adguard home + ublock + 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)
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!
96% with Brave Browser (android) and DNS66 (custom block list)
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.
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.
