      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.

    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.

    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.

    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

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