Yeah no ublock origin really won’t block all that many, the chattiest DNS comes from apps and smart devices, windows and mac laptops etc.
I also run ublock on all of my devices.

But as I said, I have ublock origin on all my browsers which already catches most ads before they reach pihole, and I don’t use mobile a lot when I’m at home. Oh, and I also use Linux, so no Microsoft telemetry to block either.
1.7% makes perfect sense to me.

Meh, it’s fairly easy to check this you know. If I turn off uBlock, my pihole logs do turn red. If it’s left on, pihole logs stay mostly green, with nothing suspicious or out of the ordinary getting through.

I don’t have many of those. My work laptop is windows but it connects through a VPN only, and I have my smartphone that I barely use at home.

I was averaging ~1-2% blocked using the firebog and a few other lists, added hagezi’s ‘pro plus’ list last month and it’s up to 39% blocked.
