While there is absolutely value in doing what you are doing and I commend you for fighting the good fight, the fact that 61% of your queries are still going through means your data is still getting out there. Maybe to a lesser degree but that doesn't mean the marketing target isn't being painted it just means you are an impressionistic painting rather than a modernist with straight, accurate lines.
I see your point, I have no need to block 99% of everything.
For instance, many apps like bank apps use Google to delivery notification (there is a name for it), so if you start blocking everything, you won't use anything.
To your credit, I can block more stuff but I haven't bothered. I have spent many nights blocking stuff haha
Reddit doesn't work atm home because I blocked static.reddit.com
Since the API drama, I never used it again, I used to waste hours of my life everyday there. Couldn't be happier to be honest haha
The only fight I gave up is YouTube, I do see value into YouTube Premium.
Spotify is dogshit, YouTube Music allows to me listen to music available nowhere else like DJ remix, old music and the the offline music works which Spotify gave me the finger.
I watch YT only, TV News are complete useless nowadays. There are solid news channels so anyway, I do pay for it over trying to block its ADs from the free version.
I mean, try listening music with ADs, nah thanks haha
I want to know how to become a Pollack painting.
