thank you. I see you use Adguard for Windows. https://forum.adguard.com/index.php?threads/adguard-for-windows-7-11-beta-1.49455/ are there significant differences to the browser addon? i think i cannot compare AG4Win with uBo for browsers? not only because some speak about MV3 and thats browser concerned.
1. Yes, already mentioned= #3171: Edge + AG for Windows = 100% 2. AdGuard Browser extension vs. AdGuard standalone apps https://kb.adguard.com/en/browser-e...-browser-extension-vs-adguard-standalone-apps Compare AdGuard Extension with our Desktop App for Windows https://adguard.com/en/compare.html?os=windows 3. There are a lot of articles about it ( AG for Win vs uBo).
Well this is a shock for me testing Edge with only uBlockO extension: I re-did the test to make sure. Could it be the quad9 DNS setting in the registry is helping?: If I disable uBlock and rerun the test: So I guess the dns setting is doing next to nothing.
Hi,except that this is the thread that has AdGuard as its topic ,why is it a shock? Are you using Edge without the anti-trackers protection set to Strict. Everything seems to be regular to me. Quad9 DNS does not play a significant role against ads and tracking is better AdGuard DNS,Next DNS,ControlD -OISD full.
It is obvious. How do you set up a test that has ads + tracking as its purpose if you don't use some let's say not very nice websites? If you go and look at the "Social Tracker" test group and click on it with your mouse you will notice the website that Avira puts you on. The other one is in the ADS group - Amazon I take this opportunity to say hello to the test developer (Eduard Ursu) who is Italian like me.
dont mind, anything above 80% is ok as i wrote those tests do not meet the reality and you can filter pages to death.
I did try the test with a recent experimental MV3 AdGuard extension and I scored 79%, so I removed it. It's a shock because don't forget I'm not a guru like you, @nicolaasjan and @Brummelchen on ad and script blocking Also I thought because of MV3, Edge would allow more from the test to get through. Goes to show what little I know about this subject. True, I sometimes want to give up on adding all the additional filtering and just use the defaults for blocking ads. I was just surprised to see 99% on Edge, even with the indomitable uBlockO fortified with additional filters
I performed a comparison test of V2 and V3 extensions in the latest Opera build and got an interesting result, 89% with V2 and 88% with V3. Opera's inbuilt ad & cookie blocker was enabled in both test. When disabled the score fell out to 79% and 78% respectively. It means that V3 is almost on par with V2, considering that V3 is still experimental, it's a pretty result, imho.
I would like to recommend to forum members the Anti-adblock Enhancer for AdGuard filter by Yuki2718 whom I salute. https://github.com/Yuki2718/adblock If there are any forum members who want to perform some tests,I will read them very gladly.
That's why I don't use anti-ad block lists. However, I find that turning off cosmetic filtering on the affected site and refreshing a couple of times often removes the anti-block message.
uBlock Origin Minus: an experimental Manifest v3 compatible extension https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/ublock-a-lean-and-fast-blocker.365273/page-266#post-3103728
Thanks for the heads up. I compared both V3 and my conclusion is that AG outperforms uB. AG is tweakable and filters more than uB. So talking about experimental extensions, AG is undoubtedly better.
With the AG MV3 extension, I can't even block the ping. Is anyone able to do that? https://apps.armin.dev/ping-spotter/
No,I would like to do it with the simple rule in the extension: Code: ||*$ping Otherwise if the future of almost all chrome based browsers has to be this I'll switch to Brave.
I just meant there are other ways to disable them; such as browser.send_pings = false in Firefox, or using NoScript.
I was able to write a rule for ping and beacon blocking in AdGuard MV3. But I can't write a rule for blocking csp report. Is any forum member able to help me? TH. P.S. Interestingly, if I add more than one custom filter list,the rule stops working. And that is certainly a bug as well because I tried sequentially 4-3-2-1 lists. This extension,is really not very usable,under these conditions.
AdGuard for Windows 7.11 beta 2, Release date: September 15, 2022 https://adguard.com/en/versions/windows/beta.html#version-71140490
I think I have found the best combination for this version of Adguard MV3. It is a very simple configuration combined with Next DNS. Putting an excess of lists in "Custom Filters" has the effect of deleting some rules previously available in "Rule limits." I will include what I have enabled: On the 3dward test my score is 99%. https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html P.S. I preferred to block "Ping" not with a rule in the extension but via command-line in the browser.
