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.

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.
