    says nothing and all. those tests only show the result, but not its meaning.
    brave/vivaldi uses an integrated adblocker. librewolf/mullvad uses questionable switches which are not set by default in firefox, but available. librewolf includes noscript and ublock by default. tor is special and has its very small purpose. safari uses another browser engine and is only available for apple. ungoogled is a major number behind in that test and thus it is vulnerable, and its a private build.

    all those tests only will work if i am willing to make them work.
    default settings are nice any may work as expected, personal settings may sharpen security without to break pages. in special uBo lite in firefox breaks d3ward, not working. need no filtering which makes the test futile. as you wrote, different blockers with different settings may result in different scores. for me currently uBo with my settings is doing a brilliant job beyond adguard mv3+umatrix (edge browser).

    You are incorrect. LibreWolf DOES NOT include NoScript by default. Only uBlock Origin is pre-installed.
