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.

91% on Firefox for Android with I lock Origin and pfblockerng on my router.
91%, Firefox with ublock and Privacy Badger on a network with pfBlockerNg.
100% using Orion on macOS, no extensions.
It's a damn shame that browser only exists on the mac. When it comes to Linux, I'm going for it.
I really like Kagi. If their browser is half as good as their search engine is its going to be fantastic.
Got 92% on Firefox iOS in strict mode, with pfblocker. Tried safari but the test won’t even start.
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%
Got 100% on ios using Orion with Ublock-origin
91% on Chrome mobile behind PiHole. Fairly good for a minimum effort whole network solution.
93% with NextDNS on an iPhone.
97% with Vivaldi and 87% with Mull +uBlock Origin... That's surprising.

74% with ublock origin for Firefox
90% on Vanadium (which has no ad blocker) + Mullvad VPN. Good enough.

91% 🤝
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%
96% with Brave Browser (android) and DNS66 (custom block list)
99% in Firefox with uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes and AdGuard Home.

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.
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.

100% with Firefox for Android and Blokada. 100% with Firefox 117 beta for Windows (advanced tracking protection + uBlock Origin).
100% with Brave in aggressive mode, and a Pi-Hole behind it.
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.
93% with Firefox and privacy badger on Windscribe VPN adblocking enabled. 55% with Windscribe disabled.
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
96% on Brave at home (pfBlocker).
81% on Firefox with uBlock Origin at home (pfBlocker).
