Well that's interesting. I've read more than one place the having uBlock Origin is "enough" and that adding Privacy Badger is overkill. I've also got AdGuard Home running on a Pi-4. I failed all three tests with Vivaldi Nightly and Arc Browser--both with uBO installed....
Simply adding Privacy Badger to the existing setup, suddenly I had "strong web protection".
[edit] Firefox passed without having to add Privacy Badger.
uBlock Origin + Canvas Blocker is it for me. And Total Cookie Protection enabled, wasm disabled, referer trimmed.
thanks for the tip, i'm already on firefox, but when run it said i had "some protection" for both blocking tracking ads, and blocking invisible trackers, added privacy badgers after reading your post, because why not, and now it says YES for both
