So, check this little idea that I have - I want to browse the internet without all sorts of unscrupulous actors collecting every little bit of metadata on me and my family they can possibly get their hands on.
I use firebog’s ticked lists, from what I can tell from the logs ad domains are blocked just fine.
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.
I was averaging ~1-2% blocked using the firebog and a few other lists, I also have ublock origin on everything I can. Added hagezi’s ‘pro plus’ list last month and it’s up to 39% blocked.
I run a handful of instances across different networks, 1.7% is suspiciously low, you should make sure you’ve got the right lists. I like HageZi’s

1.7% makes perfect sense to me.
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.
