F, that's the guy who made uBlock... I shouldn't have posted this...

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.

themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works · 17 pts · 3y (3 replies)

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.

Mnky313@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 3y

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.

tram1@programming.dev · 3 pts · 3y

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...

ChaoticNeutralCzech@czech-lemmy.eu · 1 pts · 3y

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.

TheWoozy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

33% better, actually.

clive@sh.itjust.works · 9 pts · 3y

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

Rootiest@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 2y (2 replies)

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

Nagairius@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Thanks for the edit, that fixed mine up to 97% as well.

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.

87% with Firefox on MIUI. I think I have some custom ublock filters? Not sure because my config was copied from my PC.

scytale@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 3y

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.

Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

91% with pihole + ublock on Firefox. Time to add some domains to the blacklist

1984@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 3y

Yup got the same except adguard instead of pihole. Will add the remaining to a block list also.

datendefekt@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 2y

I've been using UBlock for years and was surprised that out of the box, AdGuard had a much better score!

gigachad@feddit.de · 3 pts · 3y

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.

5% on stock chrome for Android. Guess this week is the week I switch to firefox mobile (73% with stock uBlock Origin)

shortwavesurfer@monero.town · 3 pts · 3y

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%

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.

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.

Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 2y

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.

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.

zwekihoyy@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

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

goodhunter@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y

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.

Rhaedas@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

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.

89% without @@*$redirect-rule in My Filters, 96% with it added.
