Any stats by F A A N G? I'm guessing for me given I have a bunch of Apple stuff that one A is getting a lot of pings. The other A very few. I have a kindle but it's not plugged in and I haven't turned it on for months. G, well I use Chrome and many Google apps on iPhone. F, have FB and Messenger apps on iPhone but assume those are mostly isolated.


Not OP, but I've been using NextDNS [1] (a similar pi-hole like setup) on my phone and in its analytics there's a GAFAM Dominance graph.

This graph [2] isn't mine but it looks similar to my results.

Unfortunately, it's not so clear-cut by looking at which domains are getting hits, but it would make a good weekend project. I'd have to map all subsidiaries back to their parents eg YouTube or IG, and then there's the trick of dealing with third-parties, like branch.io, who appears to be very popular.


Amazon owns AWS, so lots of services that you don't think of as Amazon related (Netflix, lots of news sites, ...) would trigger this.
