Here is the factual data with no hype.

This benchmark measures privacy exposure by counting the number of **distinct 3rd-party domains** hit by net requests. The lower the number of these 3rd-party domains, the better.

uBlock Origin (uBO) and Disconnect required no extra configuration steps. Other blockers required configuration. The one requiring the most for that benchmark was Adblock Plus (ABP).

Caveat: the definition of a "3rd-party" is a domain not matching the web page. Many domains reported as "3rd-party" actually belong to the same entity which owns the page domain (for example, `yimg.com` is owned by `yahoo.com`). There is no way for the benchmark code to know this unless using a comprehensive database of who owns which domain. That is beyond my means. Still, the benchmark is useful if comparing blockers among themselves or against when using no blocker.
