Sites blocked by pi-hole and not Brave

I have had a pi-hole setup for quite a while and just started using Brave. The pi-hole does seem to have a few less sites on the blocked queries report but there are still quite a few that still make it to the hole. For instance -
as-sec.casalmedia.com
v10.events.data.microsoft.com
udc.yahoo.com
geo.yahoo.com
fc.yahoo.com
settings-win.data.microsoft.com
y.analytics.yahoo.com
aax.amazon-adsystem.com
partner.googleadservices.com
tile-service.weather.microsoft.com

And that is just a few. Why are these type of add, analytics and tracking sites even making it to the Pi-Hole? I was thinking Brave would significantly reduce the number of sites listed in the blocked report but it does not seem to be doing that.

@splangie,
That depends on what version of Brave you’re using, what your Shields settings are set to, and what sites you’re visiting that allow these requests.

Please repost (or edit your original post) to reflect the template and guidelines and we’d be more than happy to assist you.

Some of those sites are generated by your Windows (microsoft domains), It’s a bit hard to debug the details but if you have examples of specific websites leaking questionable domains do post here.
