91% on Firefox for Android with I lock Origin and pfblockerng on my router.

Got 92% on Firefox iOS in strict mode, with pfblocker. Tried safari but the test won’t even start.

91% on Chrome mobile behind PiHole. Fairly good for a minimum effort whole network solution.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

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%

Wow I only get 62%. Using Vanadium on GrapheneOS over a network with DNS blocking.

100% using Orion on macOS, no extensions.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a damn shame that browser only exists on the mac. When it comes to Linux, I'm going for it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I really like Kagi. If their browser is half as good as their search engine is its going to be fantastic.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Got 100% on ios using Orion with Ublock-origin

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

93% with Firefox and privacy badger on Windscribe VPN adblocking enabled. 55% with Windscribe disabled.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

74% with ublock origin for Firefox

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

82% on Firefox mobile + ublock origin + adguard home inside Tailscale.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

private relay is likely using apple DNS to resolve blocked domains.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

More tech savy people analysed the dns jumps, and I think the understanding was it goes through both IPR’s and Nextdns’s DNS. If so, I still imagined this block test to show a result where everything had been filtered by nextdns at some point in the route.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

96% on Brave at home (pfBlocker).

81% on Firefox with uBlock Origin at home (pfBlocker).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

99% in Firefox with uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes and AdGuard Home.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I got 93% on mobile with the same setup.

Although I'm not sure if decentraleyes is working

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

90% on Vanadium (which has no ad blocker) + Mullvad VPN. Good enough.

53% with stock Firefox Focus on Samsung galaxy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

93% blocked running on my exentionless chrome on my phone. Damn I love pihole.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

96% with Brave Browser (android) and DNS66 (custom block list)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I usually use Adblocker Ultimate.

To check it, I disabled all the other extensions.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

97% with Vivaldi and 87% with Mull +uBlock Origin... That's surprising.

90 % with UBO+Pihole

100% with Brave in aggressive mode, and a Pi-Hole behind it.
