- A cosmetic filter test fails when the tested website isn't covered by ad blocker rules; this doesn't imply failure on all websites, and you can verify by visiting ad-rich sites where ads are blocked.
- To potentially resolve cosmetic filter test failures, add rules like 'adblock.turtlecute.org##.adbox.banner_ads.adsbox' and 'adblock.turtlecute.org##.textads' to your ad blocker.
- An ad script loading test fails similarly when the site isn't in ad blocker rules; this doesn't indicate general failure, and checking popular ad-heavy sites can confirm ad scripts are blocked.
- To potentially fix ad script loading test failures, add rules such as '/pagead.js$domain=adblock.turtlecute.org' and '/widget/ads.' to your ad blocker.
