100% because i have javascript disabled.
RMS approves
I have 100 with JavaScript enabled
These tools aren't a reliable indicator of your protection. See here.
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
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.
My setup (Firefox+uBlockOrigin) blocks Doubleclick.net. Also, ads.youtube.com is under Social Trackers, maybe it's not the actual ads on youtube, but some tracker? BTW, I have no idea how the internet works, maybe it is wrong...
100% on Safari on iOS with AdGuard and PiHol
Same but with adguard home and not pihole
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
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%
@@*$redirect-rule
100% with cosmetic filter disabled
Seems to be misreporting (Adguard home + ublock origin + FF). With ublock off I get a higher percentage than with it on (93% vs 91%). It's reporting things as not blocked while they are clearly blocked (all requests show blocked in inspector)
this test has been known to have problems on Firefox. 90% Firefox+ublock+nextdns, 99% after using the fix they recommend
@@*$redirect-rule
in your rules.
96% 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.
89% with firefox for android with ublock origin and decentraleyes.
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.
95% - Firefox + Privacy Badger + Ublock Origin + VPN.
The sites that are "not blocked" are sites I've specifically allowed because I use them.
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.
97% on FF Android with ublock origin. Adguard Home is my network DNS as well.
100% with Cromite's built-in ad blocker + adguard filtering
88% with Mull (default ublock settings)
4% on duck duck go browser. 87% on fennec.
93% with NextDNS and HaGeZi Ultimate.
Trying a few different browsers I have installed:
- Firefox in Strict mode with LocalCDN: 42% (eww)
- Brave (stock): 72%
- Brave w/ stock uBlock Origin: 78%
- 100% w/ custom filters enabled
- Opera w/ uBlock: 75%
- Vivaldi (stock): 55%
- LibreWolf w/ uBlock and LocalCDN: 70%
91% with pihole + ublock on Firefox. Time to add some domains to the blacklist
I get 100% on both desktop and mobile.
Desktop: Firefox with uBO, Disconnect, Privacy Badger, and Decentraleyes
Mobile: Safari, Firefox Focus, Orion (with uBO and Privacy Badger) + AdGuard and AhaDNS Blitz
All these plus ControlD and AdGuard as DNS + manually added blocklists on my router.
Testing at 100% w/Firefox + ABP + AdGuard home DNSBL and upstream DNS blocking. Need to get uMatrix back on here.
93% on mobile (Firefox + ublock + pihole) 84% on desktop (Firefox + unlock + pihole)
69% on my network alone. More once I turn ublock origin on :)
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.
I got 100%. Using Mull on android (Firefox fork) with Ublock.
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.
Edit: damn, adding privacy badger took it from 91% to 96%.
Edit 2: ouch
- Fennec + privacy badger 39%
- Fennec + privacy badger + ublock 87%
- Fennec + privacy badger + ublock + Controld DNS 96%
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.
I've been using UBlock for years and was surprised that out of the box, AdGuard had a much better score!
Firefox (Fennec) on Android. uBlock Origin with every single block list enabled.
87% with Firefox on MIUI. I think I have some custom ublock filters? Not sure because my config was copied from my PC.
100% with iOS Safari, Wipr, and Adguard Home on network level.
100% on Safari with just Wipr.
91%, Firefox with ublock and Privacy Badger on a network with pfBlockerNg.
89% according to the tool, but should be 100%. The tool itself says it can't detect it in some cases. I manually checked the 16 domains it flagged aa unfiltered and neither of them worked.
Got 100% on ios using Orion with Ublock-origin
