AdBlock tests better on Chrome than on Brave

I wanted to test how good my ad block in Brave is and compare it to Chrome with Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin Lite installed. I used adblock.turtlecute.org (I found it randomly) and I was pretty shocked by results. In Brave I have aggressive blocking turned on + the same extensions like in Chrome installed but the results were better for Chrome. Brave results were 74% blocked scripts, Chrome's were 77%. It's a slight difference but I didn't expect it. I also set Chrome's privacy settings as good as possible.

Adblock for the chrome browser app for android available?

I am using the Chrome browser on my Windows computer and also using adblocks there. They are working fine, but I couldn't find a solution for my Android phone (Samsung, if relevant).

Adguard CLI for Linux help

Installed the CLI accordingly on my Fedora workstation setup, activated license, even got as far as to adding dns and filtering lists I wanted, selected them with the “X”.

With HTTP and SOCKS5 on default IPs, now my problem is; the PROXY mode on manual renders both my systemwide filtering and system wide DNS filtering DISABLED. (As shown when the “status” command is used)

With PROXY mode on auto, both systemwide filtering modes are ENABLED, however my internet is now completely broken, cannot load anything. Obviously, I need to have these two modes on Enabled for Adguard to be of any use, so what am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

With more and more sites serving markdown to AI bots, I figure why not just use it ourselves?

No ads, no tracking JS, no cookie banners, no upsell models, no nothing. Just the actual content you want, made possible by the fact that sites are happy to serve you bloated webpages riddled with crap but will give a bot exactly what they want

I've built a little proof of concept (Firefox only) but I don't see any reason why this isn't something adblockers could start adding?
