@lightweight @phlogiston 66% with macOS Firefox and AdNauseam "Active" - because of course ads were being processed, which is sort-of the point for this blocker.
99% with AdNauseum switched to "Strict".

4% for macOS Vivaldi with no addons.

7% for macOS Chrome with no addons.

13% for macOS Safari with no addons, despite Safari's claims.

96% for macOS Brave, no addons but I've been into Settings a few times to turn off the crypto bullshit.

100% for macOS Orion, no addons. Actually I'm surprised. I may have to do some more work with this one ...

@yojimbo @lightweight
I've seen something similar with LibreWolf and AdNauseam hitting mid 60%s. Privacy Badger on top lifts it then to 69%.

But yes, the thing is that AdNauseam does its own thing. Clocked up some cost to advertisers alsready. It'd be higher if I hadn't once lost my ad click count :-)

total estimated cost = $831.21

@phlogiston @lightweight I use different browsers for purpose-differentiation: because $dayjob is a Google Workspace user, I use Chrome with no changes for work purposes.

I use Firefox for my socials, usually just fediverse.

I use Brave for my personal mailboxes.

It's far easier finding a whole browser to switch to, than it is to find one tab within one of them ...

But Orion ... macOS/iOS-only as far as I can see. Youtube (not logged in) played video without nagging about adblocking. Looking promising.
