If a cosmetic filter test fails, it simply means that the specific website being tested (in this case adblock.turtlecute.org) isn't included in any of adblock's rules or lists. It's important to note that this does not mean that cosmetic filtering fails on all websites. You can confirm this by visiting a popular, ad-rich site where you're unlikely to see any ad boxes. The purpose of this test is to assess the functionality of the blocking feature, not to determine its scope or coverage. By adding the following rules to your adblock solution, you may be able to solve the problem: adblock.turtlecute.org##.adbox.banner_ads.adsbox adblock.turtlecute.org##.textads Adding these rules could lead to a successful test result proving your adblock solution have that feature of blocking with cosmetic filtersAd Scripts Loading Why does the Ad Script Loading test fail?

Adding these rules could lead to a successful test result proving your adblock solution have that feature of blocking script loading
