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

MODERATORS
87 % on mobile, 97 % on the desktop
82% on Firefox mobile + ublock origin + adguard home inside Tailscale.
91% On Firefox with Privacy Badger, Nord VPN, Ghostery, a DNS filter as well.
75% on Mull with Ublock origin... I need an alternative but I like Firefox.
79% with firefox with ublock, and pihole dns with stock blocklist
100% ublock origin Firefox + NextDNS + privacy bager
89% without @@*$redirect-rule in My Filters, 96% with it added. Just using uBlock Origin with all filters on regular Fennec for Android (Firefox stable fork), and dns.adguard-dns.com private DNS sprinkled on top. Getting rid of that redirect rule though since I'm guessing it'll just cause breakage for me.
With the inbuild Vivaldi adblocker
Enabled only two filterlists
- https://downloads.vivaldi.com/easylist/easylist-current.txt
- https://github.com/StUser4pda/filtrite/releases/latest/download/bromite-4pda.txt
Apart other 2 for blocking cookie advices.
91% on mobile Firefox with ublock origin and adguard dns blocker on my home network.

95% - Firefox + Privacy Badger + Ublock Origin + VPN.
The sites that are "not blocked" are sites I've specifically allowed because I use them.
