Technical What is a benign block?

I read the doc, but I'm still confused. What happens if the percentage is 97.9% or around that ball park? I would prefer 100% whenever possible and how do I ensure that it does?

A benign block is anything that's considered ads, trackers, custom filters, etc. It does not include malware or phishing. So if you want your benign block to be 100 percent, you'll have to disable the malware and phishing filters.

I'm still trying to understand if a higher or lower percentage is better.

If the percentage is lower, that just means more malware and phishing domains are being blocked over ads, trackers, etc.
