      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.

    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.

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

      DNS adblock will still not come anywhere close to a browser adblocking extension. They want to add content filters to Vanadium eventually though. But if you care about adblocking, Firefox is really the only way to go, and also doesn’t contribute to unhealthy Google monopoly.

    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.

    Seems to still not work correctly. I remember a little while back that this testsite had issues with how uBlock Origin handled some blocking. Seems like the issue has not completely been fixed. Strange that the github issues all seem to have been closed.

    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.

    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.
