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 browsers

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.
