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.

91% on Firefox for Android with I lock Origin and pfblockerng on my router.
Got 100% on ios using Orion with Ublock-origin
91% on Chrome mobile behind PiHole. Fairly good for a minimum effort whole network solution.
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.

91% 🤝
I have quite a few browsers installed, all with adblock.
surprisingly, vivaldi did the best with 85%
93% with Firefox and privacy badger on Windscribe VPN adblocking enabled. 55% with Windscribe disabled.
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.
74% with ublock origin for Firefox
100% with Brave in aggressive mode, and a Pi-Hole behind it.
96% using Android Firefox Beta with ublock, nextdns, and a VPN.
Nextdns AND a VPN? 🤔
I pretty much always use a VPN these days because I hate Comcast and don't like them seeing my traffic. I like nextDNS because it gives me centralized management and filtering of DNS for all my devices, it's definitely worth the $20 a year. I forgot to mention I also have the extensions CanvasBlocker, WebRTC Blocker, and LocalCDN but I think it is likely just ublock origin (and nextDNS filtering) that got my score to 96%.
87% with NoScript, Privacy Badger, uBlock
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.
Was getting 71% on Librewolf with only uBlock Origin. Enabled every blocklist in the extension and am now getting 100%. Thanks for sharing!
53% with stock Firefox Focus on Samsung galaxy
96% with Brave Browser (android) and DNS66 (custom block list)
90 % with UBO+Pihole
99% in Firefox with uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes and AdGuard Home.

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.
100% with Firefox for Android and Blokada. 100% with Firefox 117 beta for Windows (advanced tracking protection + uBlock Origin).
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).
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
97% with Vivaldi and 87% with Mull +uBlock Origin... That's surprising.
