Result scope: each platform had a separate system-wide run and private-browser run. The headline Protection Score is weighted and rounded and does not by itself prove every probe was blocked.

02 · How filtering works

Choose the filtering scope before you test.

The same page can produce two useful measurements because the system-wide and private-browser controls protect different traffic scopes.

What 100% does not mean: first-party promotions, sponsored social posts, and some in-stream video ads can share infrastructure with the content and behave differently.
