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

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.
90% using Mullvad VPN with adblock enabled and vanadium. Doesn't look bad to me
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.
81% using Firefox on Android with uBlock on a pi-holed network
What blocklist do you have? I have the default one and am getting 79% with your same setup
Aside from the built-in lists I have AdGuard Mobile, EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Malicious URLs and Peter Lowe's list
I've been using UBlock for years and was surprised that out of the box, AdGuard had a much better score!
74% with ublock origin for Firefox
91% on Chrome mobile behind PiHole. Fairly good for a minimum effort whole network solution.
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.
4% on duck duck go browser. 87% on fennec.
93% with Firefox and privacy badger on Windscribe VPN adblocking enabled. 55% with Windscribe disabled.
With the inbuild Vivaldi adblocker
Enabled only two filterlists
- https://downloads.vivaldi.com/easylist/easylist-current.txt
- https://github.com/StUser4pda/filtrite/releases/latest/download/bromite-4pda.txt
Apart other 2 for blocking cookie advices.
95% - Firefox + Privacy Badger + Ublock Origin + VPN.
The sites that are "not blocked" are sites I've specifically allowed because I use them.
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 86%
87% with NoScript, Privacy Badger, uBlock
100% ublock origin Firefox + NextDNS + privacy bager
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.
79% with firefox with ublock, and pihole dns with stock blocklist
90 % with UBO+Pihole
Got 92% on Firefox iOS in strict mode, with pfblocker. Tried safari but the test won’t even start.
99% in Firefox with uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes and AdGuard Home.
I got 93% on mobile with the same setup.
Although I'm not sure if decentraleyes is working
96% but it's not accurate. Verified on my DNS logs that the two it claimed weren't blocked, actually resolved to 0.0.0.0 correctly, so I'm actually at 100%
91% on mobile Firefox with ublock origin and adguard dns blocker on my home network.
75% on Mull with Ublock origin... I need an alternative but I like Firefox.
90% on Vanadium (which has no ad blocker) + Mullvad VPN. Good enough.

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
93% blocked running on my exentionless chrome on my phone. Damn I love pihole.
96% on Brave at home (pfBlocker).
81% on Firefox with uBlock Origin at home (pfBlocker).
87 % on mobile, 97 % on the desktop
