Following are some examples of using dynamic filtering vs. not using dynamic filtering, with both scenarios using the default filter lists. The top row in each table shows the used bandwidth.
I didn't report below the comparative results without a blocker, that would be a lot of noise detracting from the main topic here, but I provide a summary of what would have happened without µBlock with default filter lists. (That is with click-to-play enabled for plugins -- it would be much worst without this.)
#### Example 1 -- An article on TechCrunch

The article could be read all fine with dynamic filtering. For many users it's often only what matters for most sites.
I didn't report below the results without a blocker, that would be a lot of noise detracting from the main topic here, but in summary, without µBlock enabled at all, 61 hostnames were hit, with the consumed bandwidth at 2,627,068. And that was with click-to-play enabled for plug-in (would have been much worst without this).
Without µBlock enabled at all, 61 hostnames were hit, with the consumed bandwidth at 2,627,068 bytes.
