I get 82% (27 not blocked. I use Firefox ESR with uBlock and Privacy Badger.
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

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.
100% because i have javascript disabled.
RMS approves
I have 100 woth JavaScript enabled
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…
YouTube ads are just other YouTube videos that you can watch willingly if you know their ID. The mechanism of serving them might therefore not involve the client connecting to any domains other than
www.youtube.com, and it probably doesn’t or it would be very easy to block them otherwise.
100% on Safari on iOS with AdGuard and PiHol
Same but with adguard home and not pihole

4% is good, right guys?
Better than 3% for sure.
33% better, actually.
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-rule100% with cosmetic filter disabled
Thanks for the edit, that fixed mine up to 97% as well.

See here for more information. You are correct that the tool is fairly useless.
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%
89% with firefox for android with ublock origin and decentraleyes.
this test has been known to have problems on Firefox. 90% Firefox+ublock+nextdns, 99% after using the fix they recommend
@@*$redirect-rulein 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.
Yeah I really like it! What do you use?
Im otherwise just lurking but now you’ve witnessed two of us on /e/os ;)

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.
4% on duck duck go browser. 87% on fennec.
91% with pihole + ublock on Firefox. Time to add some domains to the blacklist
Yup got the same except adguard instead of pihole. Will add the remaining to a block list also.
