The test relies on JavaScript, it can encounter problems due to browser limitations and varying solution approaches. Below you'll find browser-adblock solutions that have been validated and tested to work effectively

While some browser+adblock solutions may not be supported by this test it's important to note that this does not imply they are not effective or reliable

Can be used in combo with ublock-origin or adguard adblocker. Test doesn't work properly if blocking page feature of NextDNS is enabled

This solution sets '500 Internal Server Error' on all requests and cannot be detected

Firefox users affected by unknown issues. This can be temporarly fixed by using @@*$redirect-rule in 'My Filters'

How does it work?

After tests are completed , you get a liquid color ball with points. Points are calculated based on your tests for each category and type The color fits your points range Here a preview of 3 scenarios :

• Cosmetic Filter : Check if you are hiding/removing the empy boxes of ads, cookie policy etc.
• Script Loading : Check if you are blocking a possible ad script loading or trackers
• Host : Check if you block domains that provide trackers, analytics or ads

I'm sure my ad-block solution is configured correctly, but the test does not work.

It would appear that your current configuration is not compatible with the type of checks carried out by this tool. However, please note that this does not mean that there is a lack of protection provided by the solution you have configured, such as an ad blocking extension, a VPN or a DNS. The limitations of JavaScript or the absence of certain features may prevent the test from being able to accurately determine the number of connections that are blocked. You will still receive an estimate of the percentage of connections that have been blocked/detected by this tool

How I can have 100%

A green score indicates a satisfactory level of protection. There is no need to aim for a perfect score. However, if you are interested in achieving full 100% protection, you can use my d3Host List, which covers most of the tests on the site (excluding cosmetic filters and script loading). This should help to improve your score.

My ad-blocking solutions

I use DNSFilter as main DNS resolver Great alternative for home consumer users NextDNS Plus these combo on each platform :

• Windows : Brave + ublock-Origin
• MacOS : Brave + ublock-Origin
• Android : Kiwi Browser + ublock-Origin
• iOS : Brave with built-in adblock enabled OR Safari + Adguard Extension
• Hagezi - Ultimate List
• uBlock filters
• Adguard Filters

Others test tools for your adblock

I created this project to quickly test my small list of most common hosts. I wanted to build something with a great design and user experience that was pretty straightforward for any type of user. There are other great tools that I use and would like to recommend

Toolz 3.1.2

  Logs

Javascript is required to run this test. please enable javascript in your browser settings.,   cosmetic filter.

If a cosmetic filter test fails, it simply means that the specific website being tested (in this case d3ward.github.io) isn't included in any of adblock's rules or lists. It's important to note that this does not mean that cosmetic filtering fails on all websites. You can confirm this by visiting a popular, ad-rich site where you're unlikely to see any ad boxes. The purpose of this test is to assess the functionality of the blocking feature, not to determine its scope or coverage. By adding the following rules to your adblock solution, you may be able to solve the problem:

  Ad Scripts Loading

Same as the cosmetic tests. If an ad script load test fails, it usually means that the specific website being tested isn't covered by any of adblock's rules or lists, especially for blocking ad-related scripts like my fake ads.js However, this error doesn't indicate a general failure of ad script blocking on all websites. To check, you can visit a popular website known for its abundance of ads scripts. Chances are that you won't encounter any blocked ad scripts. It's important to understand that this test is designed to evaluate the functionality of ad script blocking, not its scope or effectiveness. To potentially fix the problem, consider adding the following rules to your adblock solution:

Can You Block It was built to help you test if your ad-blocker is working as intended. The various tests help you in identifying what formats of advertisements are blocked or unblocked so that you can understand your ad-blockers effectiveness. Use the various tests to test ad-blockers such as AdBlock, AdBlock Plus, AdBlocker Ultimate, AdGuard, Ghostery, uBlock Origin, Pi-Hole, NoScript and more with various ad formats such as Web Banners, Native Ads, Pop-Unders,  In-Page Push Ads, etc from popular Ad Networks.

Types of Adblocker Test

• Simple Test: A page with self hosted advertisements
• eXtreme Test: A page filled with various ad formats from popular ad networks
• Advanced Test: A series of pages to independently diagnose various ad formats

How It Works

Upon clicking a test you will be directed to a page with advertisements. If your ad-blocker is able to detect it, you may not see any ads. Here is a short video demonstrating how it works.

AdGuard Is Better Than Pi-hole in Blocking Ads. Here’s Why

Pi-hole has long been such a popular choice when it comes to network-wide ad blocking for so long that it’s easy to forget that alternatives do exist. I recently gave one such alternative, AdGuard, a try and decided to make the switch permanently. Here I’ll explore the five key reasons why AdGuard won me over in the AdGuard vs Pi-hole matchup.

Built-In DNS over HTTPS (DoH) Support

Opnsense compatibility, user-friendly interface, better home assistant integration, excellent third-party mobile remotes.

DNS over HTTPS (DoH) is a useful protocol that can protect your online activities from prying eyes and potential man-in-the-middle attacks by encrypting your DNS queries, which are the questions your computer asks to find out where websites are located. Without encryption, these questions can be seen and even changed by others, like hackers or your internet service provider.

With AdGuard, enabling DoH or DoT is as simple as toggling a switch in the user interface and configuring your SSL certificate, which you can buy from a Certificate Authority (CA) or get for free from “Let’s Encrypt CA .

On the other hand, Pi-hole , while powerful in its own right, doesn’t natively support this protocol. To achieve the same level of privacy with Pi-hole, you’d need to install and configure additional DNS resolvers or forwarders, which can be a daunting task for less tech-savvy users.

OPNsense is an open-source, FreeBSD -based firewall and routing platform that’s gained popularity among network enthusiasts and professionals alike. While Pi-hole doesn’t offer native support for this platform, AdGuard can be set up quite easily within the OPNsense environment. This compatibility was a significant factor in my decision to switch, as it allowed me to consolidate my network management and ad-blocking solution into a single, cohesive system.

Setting up AdGuard on OPNsense is a straightforward process that involves a few key steps. You’ll need to configure your DNS settings in OPNsense’s System Settings and adjust the DHCP settings. Once these preparations are complete, you can activate AdGuard Home from the Services menu and finalize the setup through its web interface.

I personally find the user interface of AdGuard to be more intuitive and easier to navigate compared to Pi-hole.

The AdGuard interface is neatly divided into main tabs: Dashboard, Settings, Filters, Query Log, and FAQ. This logical organization makes it simple to find and adjust the settings you need. The Dashboard, which is visible in the image above, provides a comprehensive overview of your network’s activity at a glance. It displays key statistics like the number of DNS queries , blocked requests, and even breaks down the top clients and domains.

That’s not to say that the Pi-hole interface is unintuitive – it isn’t. It’s just that it does have a bit of a learning curve and some options require digging to find.

I use Home Assistant to control and monitor various aspects of my smart home. When it comes to integrating network-wide ad blocking with Home Assistant, I found that AdGuard Home offers a more comprehensive and user-friendly experience compared to Pi-hole.

AdGuard’s Home Assistant integration provides a wider range of sensors and switches, giving you more granular control over your ad-blocking setup. While Pi-hole’s integration is functional, offering basic statistics and the ability to disable the service temporarily, AdGuard takes it a step further.

With AdGuard, you get sensors for DNS queries, blocked queries, safe browsing stats, and even average response times. The integration also creates switches for individual features like Filtering, Safe Browsing, and Parental Control. This level of detail allows for more sophisticated automations and monitoring within your Home Assistant setup.

Moreover, AdGuard’s integration includes actions that let you manage filter subscriptions directly from Home Assistant. This means you can create automations to add, remove, enable, or disable filter lists based on time of day or other triggers – a feature not available with Pi-hole’s integration.

Network-wide ad blocking can only truly succeed in a household when it doesn’t become a source of frustration for family members. This is where AdGuard really shines with its fantastic third-party remote apps available on both the App Store and Google Play Store .

With just a few taps, you can toggle filtering on or off, enable safe browsing, or check out detailed statistics about your network’s activity. Sure, similarly capable mobile remote apps are also available for Pi-hole, but the AdGuard options I’ve tested are more polished and feature-rich.

So, these are my reasons for making the switch from Pi-hole to AdGuard for network-wide ad blocking. The built-in DoH and DoT support, OPNsense compatibility, user-friendly interface, better Home Assistant integration, and excellent third-party mobile remotes have all contributed to a more seamless and effective ad-blocking experience in my home.

It’s worth noting that while I’ve focused on comparing AdGuard and Pi-hole, these aren’t the only options available for network-wide ad blocking. There are other solutions out there that might better suit your specific needs, and NextDNS is a good example that you should also explore if you’re looking for the best Pi-hole alternative.

Macrumors 6502a.

• Aug 7, 2024

I had been using Chrome for a long time and I noticed that Youtube ads are come through. I was using Privacy Badger and uBlock and this was a good combo for many years, but no longer it seems! I've decided to switch back to Safari and am wondering what ad block is popular? So far I've been reading about Wipr, Ghostery, AdGuard, Adblock Plus, Adblock for Safari, 1Blocker and I just don't know anymore! Wipr seems to get bad reviews on the App store, but I'm using it on iPad and iPhone and it works ok, but it doesn't seem to get good reviews on the MacOS App store. I spend a lot of time on Youtube, so something that even manages to block the Youtube ads would be great (hopefully without making the video playback quality lower). I couldn't use Safari without an ad blocker, it would drive me crazy.

Get the full version of AdGuard for macOS vs just the Safari extension. You can find solid deals for a lifetime license and it’s totally worth. You can use the license on iOS and iPadOS as well.

Firefox and uBlock origin. YouTube ads will still make it through because they are now integrated with the video. YouTube premium is the fix for that.

I use AdGuard plus AdGuard Extras which keeps YouTube 100% ad free and with sponsor block, sponsor free too. Plus I have a raspberry pi running AdGuard Home. All these are free and keep ads out of nearly every app even Apple News. For Safari to use AdGuard Extras I have the free extension User Scripts

Not easy, but AdGuard say they are working on it https://adguard.com/en/blog/youtube-server-side-ad-insertion.html It would require something beyond what is possible in the free AdGuard for Safari. The free adblockers are better than nothing but can't block all ads. Click to expand...

bingefeller said: Thanks for the replies. @Sheepish-Lord , @gilby101 - you both would recommend AdGuard then? I have read that some of these ad blockers apparently can slow down your computer, have you found any performance issues? Are you seeing any YouTube ads when using the paid AdGuard? I read about an extension called Vinegar, which makes YouTube run a html5 player, but I'm not sure if this would show ads, or even if the videos would play at the same resolution as the regular YouTube player.

bingefeller said: is that using pihole? I remember looking into that and it is way over my head - it looks very complex! I like the convenience of just buying an ad blocker, or using extensions. Click to expand...

Seamaster said: No pihole, just register for NextDNS, install their app from the Mac App Store and you're in business. It's free (for me, at any rate, I never come close to their chargeable usage level). Great service. Click to expand...

ajr123 said: I also worry a bit about how much access to user data is being given to the software owner in situations like this. Are we sharing our browsing usage? Click to expand...

bingefeller said: does that mean your IP address will change, like when you're on a VPN? Or does it just mean that your traffic is routed through a different server, which blocks the ads? Click to expand...

Testing Apps with TestFlight

Getting started.

To test beta versions of apps and App Clips using TestFlight, you’ll need to accept an email or public link invitation from the developer and have a device that you can use to test. You’ll be able to access the builds that the developer makes available to you.

If you’re a member of the developer’s team, the developer can give you access to all builds or certain builds

Required platforms

• iOS or iPadOS apps: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 14 or iPadOS 14 or later. App Clips require iOS 14 or iPadOS 14, or later.
• macOS apps: Mac running macOS 12 or later.
• tvOS apps: Apple TV running tvOS 14 or later.
• visionOS apps: Apple Vision Pro running visionOS 1 or later.
• watchOS apps: Apple Watch running watchOS 6 or later.

Available languages

Ios, ipados, macos, tvos, and watchos.

Arabic, Catalan, Chinese (simplified), Chinese (traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English (Australia), English (U.K.), English (U.S.), Finnish, French, French (Canada), German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malaysian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Spanish (Latin America), Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.

Installing and testing beta apps

Each build is available to test for up to 90 days, starting from the day the developer uploads their build. You can see how many days you have left for testing under the app name in TestFlight. TestFlight will notify you each time a new build is available and will include instructions on what you need to test. Alternatively, with TestFlight 3 or later, you can turn on automatic updates to have the latest beta builds install automatically.

When the testing period is over, you'll no longer be able to open the beta build. To install the App Store version of the app, download or purchase the app from the App Store . In-app purchases are free only during beta testing, and any in-app purchases made during testing will not carry over to App Store versions.

Note: To automatically download additional in-app content and assets in the background once a beta app is installed in iOS 16, iPadOS 16, or macOS 13, turn on Additional In-App Content in your App Store settings for iPhone , iPad , and Mac .

Installation

To get started, install TestFlight on the device you’ll use for testing. Then, accept your email invitation or follow the public link invitation to install the beta app. You can install the beta app on up to 30 devices.

Sending feedback through the beta app

When you take a screenshot while testing a beta app or beta App Clip, you can send the screenshot with feedback directly to the developer without leaving the app or App Clip Experience. Developers can opt out of receiving this type of feedback, so this option is only available if the developer has it enabled.

• Take a screenshot on your device. For details on how to take screenshots, see Take a screenshot on your iPhone , Take a screenshot on your iPad , and Take a screenshot on your iPod touch .
• A thumbnail of your screenshot appears in the lower-left corner of your device. Tap the thumbnail and, if needed, add drawings and text with Markup . Then tap Done.
• Tap Share Beta Feedback .
• Optionally, you can add comments (up to 4,000 characters), and your email address if you were invited with a public link.
• Take a screenshot on your Mac. For details on how to take screenshots, visit Take a screenshot on your Mac .
• A thumbnail of your screenshot appears in the lower-right corner of your Mac. Click the thumbnail to open the Quick Look window and, if needed, add drawings and text with Markup .
• From the Share menu in the Quick Look window, click Send Beta Feedback.
• Click Submit

Sending crash information

If you experience a crash while testing a beta app or beta App Clip, you’ll receive an alert asking if you want to send crash details to the developer through TestFlight. Developers can opt out of receiving this type of feedback, so this option is only available if the developer has it enabled.

When a crash alert displays for TestFlight for iOS or iPadOS, tap Share, add any additional comments, then tap Submit.

When a crash alert displays for TestFlight for macOS, click Report, add any additional comments, then click OK, Send, or Reopen.

When a crash alert displays for TestFlight for visionOS, touch Share, add any additional comments, then pinch Submit.

To provide feedback on a tvOS app, open TestFlight, go to app’s page, go to the Information section to view the developer's email address, and send them an email. Provide as much information as you can, including screenshots and steps required to reproduce any issues you encountered. Please note that your email address will be visible to the developer when you send email feedback through TestFlight.

Contacting the developer

If you need to contact the developer while you’re testing their beta app for reasons other than feedback, you can view their email address. In TestFlight, go to the app’s page, go to the Information section, and tap App Details to view the developer’s email address.

Opting out from testing

If you don’t accept your email invitation, the beta app won’t be installed, you won’t be listed as a tester, and Apple won’t take any action with respect to your email address. Additionally, you can unsubscribe using the link at the bottom of the invitation email to notify the developer that you’d like to be removed from their list. If you accepted the invitation and no longer wish to test the app, you can delete yourself as a tester by visiting the app’s Information page in TestFlight and tapping Stop Testing.

Your Privacy and Data

When you test beta apps or beta App Clips with TestFlight, Apple will collect and send crash logs, your personal information such as name and email address, usage information, and any feedback you submit to the developer. Information that is emailed to the developer directly is not shared with Apple. The developer is permitted to use this information only to improve their App and is not permitted to share it with a third party. Apple may use this information to improve the TestFlight app and detect and prevent fraud. For more information, visit TestFlight & Privacy .

AdGuard for Safari app extension

The most advanced ad blocking extension for Safari

Free and open source, highly customizable and lightning fast ad blocking extension.

AdGuard for Safari

Ad blocking extensions for Safari are having hard time since Apple started to force everyone to use the new SDK. AdGuard extension is supposed to bring back the high quality ad blocking back to Safari.

Unlike other major ad blockers, AdGuard provides some extra features you are used to have with the traditional (now deprecated) extensions:

• Managing protection from Safari
• Choose among popular filter subscription
• Custom filters
• Creating your own filtering rules
• Manual blocking tool
• Allowlisting websites

AdGuard for Safari is based on the Safari native content blocking API, which makes it lightning fast, but somewhat limited in capabilities. For instance, Safari limits the number of rules a content blocker can have.

Better yet, there is a full-fledged AdGuard for Mac

With all above said, there is a solution that is even more effective than AG Safari extension. I mean, of course, AdGuard for Mac . It can:

• filter your traffic in all browsers and apps on your Mac
• have an unlimited number of filter rules
• provide a better filtering quality (due to the lack of browser API restrictions)

You can try it out for free .

Check certificates names in Scripts/ExportOptions.plist

SafariConverterLib dependency

For converting rules to content-blocker format we use an external library as a binary built from https://github.com/AdguardTeam/SafariConverterLib/ , that ConverterTool binary should be placed in ./libs/ .

You use ./Scripts/download-lib.sh to download the latest release version of that binary from Github.
