BRAVE Web Browser : How much advertisements I blocked in a week ?

Hello friends, herewith first I am sharing screen shots of my brave browser dashboard that I captured over a week from 30 Jan 2021 to 6 Feb 2021.The screen shots I have taken pertain to morning hours whenever I login for the day. I am generally on my PC for about 8-9 hours a day. I majorly watch YouTube videos and surf across multiple sites in a day that range from 50-100 at times. So what I am bringing out here that how many ads Brave browser has blocked in this duration and whilst this surfing times.

30 Jan 2021 : 70517 blocked : Counter 0

 31 Jan 2021 : 77744 blocked : Counter 7227  in day( i.e. 30 Jan 2021)

01 Feb 2021 : 92342 blocked : Counter 14598  in day( i.e. 31 Jan 2021)

02 Feb 2021 : 97440 blocked : Counter 5098  in day( i.e. 01 Feb 2021)

03 Feb 2021 : 105386 blocked : Counter 7946  in day( i.e. 02 Feb 2021)

04 Feb 2021 : 108354 blocked : Counter 2968  in day( i.e. 03 Feb 2021)

05 Feb 2021 : 112036 blocked : Counter 3682  in day( i.e. 04 Feb 2021)

06 Feb 2021 : 114870 blocked : Counter 2834  in day( i.e. 05 Feb 2021)

So,total ads blocked over a week is 44353 that deduces to approx average of 6336 ads/day. That's phenomenal to say. Each of these trackers would be definitely linked to thousands of other trackers also giving them unrestricted access to all the user behavior ,privacy and profiles. While there is not much a normal user can do about these trackers, I feel just blocking these thousands of ads will not make any one absolutely free of tracking,but still better than surfing without blockers. Because if the ad companies know that users are blocking by means of plugins and such browsers,they would have already found ways to still track you. After all that's their means of living and minting economy.
