It's just sloppy security at the extension store. If anything, Google wouldn't want anyone else competing with its own ad ecosystem.Right!
Do you (anyone) think Google Search facilitates or enables this to happen?

That's a main reason why I don't use the Chrome extension store. I use only the Microsoft store for Chrome Edge, and the F-Droid store for Android.

I'd add ||fun^ and ||cricket^ to the widely abused TLD list. I've seen those used on Twitter spam campaigns.
Some more good stuff from the creator of uBlock Origin. 
He gives an illustrative example of benchmarking while using well over 800,000 network filters. If using a fraction of that amount (like 1/7) but still feeling like it's too much, speaking for myself, I feel a little better now.

Nice test! I scored 74/100 (3 of them "Unable to check" as my medium mode blocking) and I failed the file loading ones for the three banner ads test. Edge itself showed the icon for disabled Flash as I don't use flash anymore anyway.
The failed files were done via java XHR request. I bet there's a static filter that could be used besides blanket blocking first party script. Time for a little research

Did a little research about the additional blocking required to get a bit of a better score but haven't got lots of time this evening. Incidentally, AdGuard gets a default score of 81. I experimented with some flagging and got a default score of 80 with UBO but I had to disable java. Anyway, I guess there's a case for trying it out various options but nothing to do with hard mode UBO with current rules.
It was a useful distraction for a little while anyway

Activate the RU Adlist option in the filter lists regions and languages section, and you'll get a perfect score.

Aha, here I was overthinking it then. I knew it was Russian but hadn't clocked that I'd have to use their language list to filter the rest out. I just use the default ones and the top 3000 list at the moment. Anyway, yeah that works, adding the RUS list gives you perfect score.

No need to bother really about this test. To me it seems the test is massively flawed. It can only understand blocking if it's blocked by specific filters. I'm using Hard mode on uBlock Origin so all third party sources are automatically blocked but the testing site don't understand some of those blocking as those were not blocked using a static filter. Flash player is blocked by the browser itself which is also not understood by the site also. The "RU Adlist" filter has rules in it for this testing site that's why it's getting a score of 100 with that enabled. So no problem, uBO even at default settings is just fine. Don't bother about the lower score the site is giving you.Nice test!

If anyone thinks some filters needs to be added on EasyList or Adguard then report it to the great folks there.

Indeed. There are other similar test sites blocked as phishing/malware. Privacy is all the rage these days.

Anyone has complete anti-facebook list, wich blocks facebook, instagram, etc.
I was using Hostfile blocklist for ads and tracking
But somehow it always wont update and wont block anything
Or should i just install facebook container from firefox extensions?

You mean this one?

I don't think there's anything better than this available.

Yes, but ive noticed the list goes outdated wich causes it to not block anything untill update is ran by me or ublock
And for adguard, the list wont work at all

Oh that's a problem then. Here's another that you can try but it's not as good as the other one and not updated often either:
