MODERATORS
90% on Vanadium (which has no ad blocker) + Mullvad VPN. Good enough.
I got 73% in Vanadium + mullvad VPN... I also have adguard-dns set up.
That's insane. I only got 62% on Vanadium + Proton VPN + nextdns.
Try adding some blocklists, maybe the Hagezi ones. I remember NextDNS being quite good at that test.
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
87 % in mobile, 97 % on the desktop
82% on Firefox mobile + ublock origin + adguard home inside Tailscale.
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.
91% On Firefox with Privacy Badger, Nord VPN, Ghostery, a DNS filter as well.
79% with firefox with ublock, and pihole dns with stock blocklist
75% on Mull with Ublock origin... I need an alternative but I like Firefox.
100% ublock origin Firefox + NextDNS + privacy bager
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.
89% without @@*$redirect-rule in My Filters, 96% with it added. Just using uBlock Origin with all filters on regular Fennec for Android (Firefox stable fork), and dns.adguard-dns.com private DNS sprinkled on top. Getting rid of that redirect rule though since I'm guessing it'll just cause breakage for me.
100% with just uBlock Origin
89% on Safari with Adguard extension.
100% on Orion with uBlock origin installed (funny enough, even without uBlock I get 100% using Orion's built in content blocking)
100% on Brave
70% on Librewolf
39% on DDG browser
All tests done on macOS ventura.
95% - Firefox + Privacy Badger + Ublock Origin + VPN.
The sites that are "not blocked" are sites I've specifically allowed because I use them.
88% brave android, then adjusted my nextdns deny list , now 100% ๐๐ peeps on adguard, move to nextdns. adguard owned by Russians so I'm told.
