MODERATORS
4% on duck duck go browser. 87% on fennec.
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.
93% on mobile (Firefox + ublock + pihole) 84% on desktop (Firefox + unlock + pihole)
91% on Chrome mobile behind PiHole. Fairly good for a minimum effort whole network solution.
91% on Firefox for Android with I lock Origin and pfblockerng on my router.
90% on Vanadium (which has no ad blocker) + Mullvad VPN. Good enough.

91% 🤝
74% with ublock origin for Firefox
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
I have quite a few browsers installed, all with adblock.
surprisingly, vivaldi did the best with 85%
87% with NoScript, Privacy Badger, uBlock
96% with Brave Browser (android) and DNS66 (custom block list)
99% in Firefox with uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes and AdGuard Home.

5% on stock chrome for Android. Guess this week is the week I switch to firefox mobile (73% with stock uBlock Origin)
90 % with UBO+Pihole
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.

53% with stock Firefox Focus on Samsung galaxy
100% with Firefox for Android and Blokada. 100% with Firefox 117 beta for Windows (advanced tracking protection + uBlock Origin).
Was getting 71% on Librewolf with only uBlock Origin. Enabled every blocklist in the extension and am now getting 100%. Thanks for sharing!
I added advice-ads.s3.amazonaws.com and ads.youtube.com to my ublock filter and those two still aren't getting blocked, anybody know how fix? the other two sites I added block fine.
96% using Android Firefox Beta with ublock, nextdns, and a VPN.
Nextdns AND a VPN? 🤔
I pretty much always use a VPN these days because I hate Comcast and don't like them seeing my traffic. I like nextDNS because it gives me centralized management and filtering of DNS for all my devices, it's definitely worth the $20 a year. I forgot to mention I also have the extensions CanvasBlocker, WebRTC Blocker, and LocalCDN but I think it is likely just ublock origin (and nextDNS filtering) that got my score to 96%.
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% blocked running on my exentionless chrome on my phone. Damn I love pihole.
100% on Samsung Browser with AdGuard extension, and AdGuard Home as my DNS Adblocker.
100% with Adblocker Ultimate.
90% with uBlock Origin.
I usually use Adblocker Ultimate.
To check it, I disabled all the other extensions.
83 with Firefox, uBlock, Privacy Badger and DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials
97% with Vivaldi and 87% with Mull +uBlock Origin... That's surprising.

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