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.
5% on stock chrome for Android. Guess this week is the week I switch to firefox mobile (73% with stock uBlock Origin)
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.
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 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.
Wow I only get 62%. Using Vanadium on GrapheneOS over a network with DNS blocking.

96% on Brave at home (pfBlocker).
81% on Firefox with uBlock Origin at home (pfBlocker).
100% with Firefox for Android and Blokada. 100% with Firefox 117 beta for Windows (advanced tracking protection + uBlock Origin).
90% on Vanadium (which has no ad blocker) + Mullvad VPN. Good enough.

93% with Firefox and privacy badger on Windscribe VPN adblocking enabled. 55% with Windscribe disabled.
91% 🤝
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
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.
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.
I have quite a few browsers installed, all with adblock.
surprisingly, vivaldi did the best with 85%
87 % on mobile, 97 % on the desktop
82% on Firefox mobile + ublock origin + adguard home inside Tailscale.
87% with NoScript, Privacy Badger, uBlock
99% in Firefox with uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes and AdGuard Home.

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.
96% with Brave Browser (android) and DNS66 (custom block list)
53% with stock Firefox Focus on Samsung galaxy
Was getting 71% on Librewolf with only uBlock Origin. Enabled every blocklist in the extension and am now getting 100%. Thanks for sharing!
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%.
93% blocked running on my exentionless chrome on my phone. Damn I love pihole.
83 with Firefox, uBlock, Privacy Badger and DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials
