    mine usually hovers around the 30% mark for blocked traffic. But then I do silly things like look up local news which is 99% ads, thank god I got outbrain
    and its ilk blocked, local news is actually readable now!

    Been using https://nextdns.io/ which is basically cloud pihole, but
    pretty well curated. Been on the free tier for about a year and a half without issue.

    Though I've been planning to configure pihole and wireguard for my own
    use soon enough.
