@phlogiston Please don't take this personally, but that tool is very inaccurate - especially when testing uBlock Origin.
Firstly, the way it determines if a domain is blocked is highly flawed.
uBlock Origin's developer recommends against using this test for that exact reason: https[://]twitter[.]com/gorhill/status/1583581072197312512 (shame he's on X)

Secondly, some of the domains it tests are not really ads or trackers: github.com/d3ward/toolz/issues

Sadly, the maintainer of this test fails to inform people of it's limitations.

Thanks.

Thanks for that comment. I knew it was only a rough initial test, and didn't know about the inaccuracies you've highlighted.

So, the way I'd take it that it's not a very accurate test, but nonetheless useful as an eye opener to judge how somebody's adblocking posture is.

I wish there was a good (other) test around that's more reliable as well as easy for general people to follow.
