Looking for a website like tracker control app

Not to long ago I had a website that functioned like the tracker control app. When using the site it would test against a list of trackers and tell me what my 1Blocker app is actively blocking. I cannot for the life of me remember the url or find it. I’m hoping someone here knows what I’m looking for. TIA

Cool site. Scored 92% using Vanadium browser on GrapheneOS

With uBlock Origin you can achieve 99%+ pretty easily.

Oh for sure but I don't think the ublock extension works for vanadium

Damn!.... looks like mine failed to block partner.ads.js ... how do I block that?

I'm not 100% sure but that probably means your ad blocker doesn't block "acceptable ads". It can be a setting buried somewhere, if at all. Again, I'm not familiar with exactly your adblocker and the partner.ads.js but that's just what I would guess.

If you're on iPhone I've previously had success with AdGuard and they also have a good reputation around here.

EDIT: I was completely wrong. It looks to be a YouTube thing for loading ads. If it's blocked it could potentially break YouTube. It could only be possible to block it using something like uBlock which I assume you cannot run. You may be able to block it if you can add rules in 1Block specifically for it.

RethinkDNS maybe? Or maybe NextDNS?

It’s neither of those. You could go there, click start and it would ping a list of trackers. When finished running it would give a percentage of trackers being blocked and show the entire list of which ones were/were not being blocked.

I thought I had bookmarked the page but apparently I didn’t 🤦🏻‍♂️

Ooh, gotcha! Maybe this one then? I think they recently changed their design.
