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.

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.

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

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.

100% on Samsung Browser with AdGuard extension, and AdGuard Home as my DNS Adblocker.

91%, Firefox with ublock and Privacy Badger on a network with pfBlockerNg.

96% on Brave at home (pfBlocker).

81% on Firefox with uBlock Origin at home (pfBlocker).

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.

93% with Firefox and privacy badger on Windscribe VPN adblocking enabled. 55% with Windscribe disabled.

93% on my iPad with an ahaDNS profile installed. The only thing that makes it through are Apple’s stuff. All things considered, I’m fine with that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

74% with ublock origin for Firefox

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Got 92% on Firefox iOS in strict mode, with pfblocker. Tried safari but the test won’t even start.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

100% with Brave in aggressive mode, and a Pi-Hole behind it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

87% with NoScript, Privacy Badger, uBlock

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Was getting 71% on Librewolf with only uBlock Origin. Enabled every blocklist in the extension and am now getting 100%. Thanks for sharing!

Just trying on mobile first, 57% in the in-app browser and 55% in Vivaldi vs 87% in Firefox. Even if the percentage is wrong it's interesting for comparing between browsers. Looking forward to trying on desktop (I haven't seen an ad on desktop in years) and seeing if I can improve adblocking on my phone later today

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

93% blocked running on my exentionless chrome on my phone. Damn I love pihole.

[–] Gxost 2 points 1 year ago

100% with Firefox for Android and Blokada. 100% with Firefox 117 beta for Windows (advanced tracking protection + uBlock Origin).

What blocklist do you have? I have the default one and am getting 79% with your same setup

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Aside from the built-in lists I have AdGuard Mobile, EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Malicious URLs and Peter Lowe's list

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

97% with Vivaldi and 87% with Mull +uBlock Origin... That's surprising.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

90% on Vanadium (which has no ad blocker) + Mullvad VPN. Good enough.
