From Raymond Hill, the author of uBlock Origin:<p><pre><code> Please do not use those online tools which claim to measure how good is your content blocker, they are often flawed.[0]

I don't know how much that applies to this particular tool, but I did notice that it's flagging requests as 'not blocked' even though they're blocked with uMatrix.<p>[0]: <a href="https://xcancel.com/gorhill/status/1583581072197312512" rel="nofollow">https://xcancel.com/gorhill/status/1583581072197312512</a>
I’m interested as to who this is testing.<p>I see double click coverage, Amazon coverage, and a tiny amount of Facebook, but missing a lot of large players in the adtech space. I don’t see Microsoft being explicitly called here.<p>Then from the large scale independent companies I see none of them on here? Shouldn’t you try Trade desk, Magnite, Applovin, Criteo, Xandr as well?<p>Then you would want to check vs data brokers as well; Experian, Equifax, Axciom, Epsilon, LexisNexus, Liveramp, and CoreLogic at minimum.
This is clearly broken, it shows "3 blocked" even as uBO is reporting 89 requests to 34 different domains blocked.<p>EDIT it's below the fold: "Some browser/blocker combinations may affect results. If uBlock Origin breaks the test, allow adblock.turtlecute.org."
The methodology for validation seems a bit off, in my setup I return a local IP for all of the domains in that list and serve empty content for it. Thus it detects the ads getting through, but in reality they did not.
I got 0% (FF+ubo) but ubo says it blocked 102 items. Also I never see ads while browsing or watching videos. What do?
The first time I opened the link I only got 17% blocked. I opened the link again and it went up to 74%. Weird
Stock Brave: 63%
w/uBOL: 65%
I'm not sure about this. I got 7% blocked but in reality I rarely see ads when browsing the web.
or just remove adblock and accept that people are paid by the ads on the websites you're reading
100% thanks to NextDNS and AdGuard.
Using uBlock Origin and nuMatrix on Librewolf got me 98% - some cosmetic ads got through.
