Hot Take Testing uBlock origin lite modes

[Parkinsond]

I have found another online adblocker tester, which looks less consistent.
All of ad-blocker extensions get 99; this is not logic.

AdBlock Tester

Could you guide me for a more reliable online test for ad-blockers?

When I look at the logger of uBlockOrigin, I see no scripts running, while the result page tells me ads.js, pagead.js and partner.ads.js are running, so I would not waist any energy in trying to get a better score

No 1; it is owned by Ghostery; how to guarantee consistency of results against rivals?
No 2; it evalutes only blocking trackers, not adverstisements.

It's not my goal to promote Ghostery. It's about their list of tracking sites (that's not the filterlist in their app!). Those sites represent the real world trackers. So a nice benchmark for the effectiveness of extensions and filterlists.
Trackers are relevant for your privacy, not ads. Ads can be annoying, not more.

I do not need trackers blocking; Edge has built-in tracking blocking; I need ad-blocking.

I find if I see no ads on sites or infrequent ones, ads are being blocked if I see ads they are not - As mentioned above, most ad test sites are not worth bothering with ... (for me Ublock Origin on Wolf sorts it for me)

I will stick with uBO lite, not because it scored the hightest, but because it is the lightest of.
