Looking for a website like tracker control app

Not to long ago I had a website that functioned like the tracker control app. When using the site it would test against a list of trackers and tell me what my 1Blocker app is actively blocking. I cannot for the life of me remember the url or find it. I’m hoping someone here knows what I’m looking for. TIA

stifle867,

You’re looking for d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html

EDIT: just expanded comments and see it was already solved. leaving the link visible if anyone wants it

Damn!.... looks like mine failed to block partner.ads.js ... how do I block that?

stifle867,

I’m not 100% sure but that probably means your ad blocker doesn’t block “acceptable ads”. It can be a setting buried somewhere, if at all. Again, I’m not familiar with exactly your adblocker and the partner.ads.js but that’s just what I would guess.

If you’re on iPhone I’ve previously had success with AdGuard and they also have a good reputation around here.

EDIT: I was completely wrong. It looks to be a YouTube thing for loading ads. If it’s blocked it could potentially break YouTube. It could only be possible to block it using something like uBlock which I assume you cannot run. You may be able to block it if you can add rules in 1Block specifically for it.

Good luck!

Cool site. Scored 92% using Vanadium browser on GrapheneOS

stifle867,

With uBlock Origin you can achieve 99%+ pretty easily. https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/1ca9a8f8-e03f-4c4d-809a-4609e349b6ff.png

Imprint9816,

Oh for sure but I don’t think the ublock extension works for vanadium

Vexz,

RethinkDNS maybe? Or maybe NextDNS?

iamtuna,

It’s neither of those. You could go there, click start and it would ping a list of trackers. When finished running it would give a percentage of trackers being blocked and show the entire list of which ones were/were not being blocked.

I thought I had bookmarked the page but apparently I didn’t 🤦🏻‍♂️

Vexz,

Ooh, gotcha! Maybe this one then? I think they recently changed their design.

iamtuna,

YES! That’s the one! I’d buy you a coffee if I could, you just saved my sanity lol Thank you!

Vexz,

Haha, you're welcome. :D
