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.
84% on Fennec mobile with AdAway, uBlock Origin, Privacy Possum, Ad Nauseum and DecentralEyes. A lot of sites seem to be wrongly reported though, ad.doubleclick.net for example.
90% with my normal setup, but I highly doubt it's correct because:
- literally everything in uMatrix except first-party scripts is blocked
- it goes up to 93% when I turn off uBO, yet the page loads way more slowly which makes no sense
The site does say uBO on Firefox has unknown issues, so I'll attribute it to that.
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.
100% with Firefox for Android and Blokada. 100% with Firefox 117 beta for Windows (advanced tracking protection + uBlock Origin).
91% 🤝
90% on Vanadium (which has no ad blocker) + Mullvad VPN. Good enough.

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%
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/fJTuldpMwCg?t=37
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
87 % on mobile, 97 % on the desktop
100% with Brave in aggressive mode, and a Pi-Hole behind it.
82% on Firefox mobile + ublock origin + adguard home inside Tailscale.
96% with Brave Browser (android) and DNS66 (custom block list)
90 % with UBO+Pihole
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.
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.
private relay is likely using apple DNS to resolve blocked domains.
More tech savy people analysed the dns jumps, and I think the understanding was it goes through both IPR’s and Nextdns’s DNS. If so, I still imagined this block test to show a result where everything had been filtered by nextdns at some point in the route.
99% in Firefox with uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes and AdGuard Home.
