MODERATORS
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%
Got 92% on Firefox iOS in strict mode, with pfblocker. Tried safari but the test won’t even start.
Got 100% on ios using Orion with Ublock-origin
5% on stock chrome for Android. Guess this week is the week I switch to firefox mobile (73% with stock uBlock Origin)
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.
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.
I have quite a few browsers installed, all with adblock.
surprisingly, vivaldi did the best with 85%
99% in Firefox with uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes and AdGuard Home.
I got 93% on mobile with the same setup.
Although I'm not sure if decentraleyes is working
96% with Brave Browser (android) and DNS66 (custom block list)
90 % with UBO+Pihole
53% with stock Firefox Focus on Samsung galaxy
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%.
Was getting 71% on Librewolf with only uBlock Origin. Enabled every blocklist in the extension and am now getting 100%. Thanks for sharing!
87% with NoScript, Privacy Badger, uBlock
93% blocked running on my exentionless chrome on my phone. Damn I love pihole.
100% on Samsung Browser with AdGuard extension, and AdGuard Home as my DNS Adblocker.
100% with Adblocker Ultimate.
90% with uBlock Origin.
I usually use Adblocker Ultimate.
To check it, I disabled all the other extensions.
96% on Brave at home (pfBlocker).
81% on Firefox with uBlock Origin at home (pfBlocker).
83 with Firefox, uBlock, Privacy Badger and DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials
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.
82% on Firefox mobile + ublock origin + adguard home inside Tailscale.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/fJTuldpMwCg?t=37
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
100% with Brave in aggressive mode, and a Pi-Hole behind it.
90% on Vanadium (which has no ad blocker) + Mullvad VPN. Good enough.

91% 🤝
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
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.
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.
