      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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Before adding “@@*$redirect-rule” to uBlock Origin filters:

    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.

    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)

    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.

      87% here with e os and mull with ublock, 93% with ublock disabled.

      Makes sense as the above comment states how ublock redirects some requests to local resources to prevent site breakages so not the best tool for testing.
