Cover Your Tracks
If you want to understand better the situation, you can see this github issue by Ryanbr, who works for Brave and maintains Easylist and Fanboy lists: https://github.com/d3ward/toolz/issues/31

Only 'Partial Protection' on Cover Your Tracks. Should I be concerned?
d3ward adblock test is the same crappy crap, and you can see how ryanbr who works at Brave and Easylist speaks about it in their github issues about unused domains and how the test will never get 100% because non tracking urls being added to the test, and even if the domains ryanbr mentioned in that issue got removed already, Brave and uBlock still don't get 100% because of similar issues with tests checking weird stuff that don't matter in real world.

How is this possible? Firefox Adblock issues
The problem with this specific test is also how many of the URLs it is Blocking are not real ones, so sometimes Easylist/uBlock will not add them to their list because they are not used in the real world for tracking purposes, you can read even Ryanbr talked about it here https://github.com/d3ward/toolz/issues/31So if those urls were tracking or delivering ads, it would already be blocked by Easylist.

- Toolz offers a simple and beautiful design test that allows you to quickly and easily test the performance of your current ad/content blocker solution.

How to make the ad block in vivaldi better?
Just a quick note in reference to before mentioned test page https://github.com/d3ward/toolz/issues/31
-
No longer blocking some Facebook and Amazon
I've created a ticket https://github.com/d3ward/toolz/issues/31 but given the lack of fixes. Just avoid it.

About Brave Adblock
d3ward's test is invalid and shows unused domains as checks. Just checks random urls, we use to have "100% coverage" but then the owner decided to add random domains not actually used. We weren't going to block domains that aren't actually used on any websites or anywhere.

In June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin will be disabled in Chrome 127
Brave has written their own (open source) adblock engine (in rust) that is directly integrated into the browser (ie. not an extension, so is not affected by Manifest V3).
https://github.com/brave/adblock-rust
Here is a (somewhat dated) article describing it by the authors:
https://brave.com/improved-ad-blocker-performance/
- Brave's Rust-based adblock engine
-
uBlock Origin 1.50.0
Brave has its own Rust implementation of an adblocker embedded in the browser: https://github.com/brave/adblock-rust; so it does not embed uBlock Origin (but the filters are mostly compatible)
Disclaimer: I work at Brave but not on the browser.
-
Does Brave now fully support Procedural Filtering or is uBlock still needed?
We support :has currently, which impacts many filters in EL and uBO. Some non-supported filters such as upward() can be manually converted over to use :has instead. The other unsupported procedual filters are a WIP will depend how easy/hard they are implement. No ETA, but have opened a ticket https://github.com/brave/adblock-rust/issues/293

Firefox extends its anti-tracking protection to Android
ublock on chromium and brave itself can't use all of the filters in that list: https://github.com/brave/adblock-rust/issues/4

$removeparam not working in filter lists
I've fixed this in the adblock engine as of https://github.com/brave/adblock-rust/commit/8a755bdb190bb55a3a3acee1e6507085051bdeec, and I'll push to get this patched in 1.47 soon. Thanks for the reports!
