Sure it did. But those are the data that google is getting, it is network transfer trough its servers. They are far beyond "tracking the clicks". And btw, no. The DNS blocking is stopping only domains. The primary addressing level is ip and you cant block it by preventing access to domains. But you can do it using proxy (or firewall, but typically firewall is clueless about the data layer), that is why I made it and while it can read the pihole blacklist and use them, it can do much more (like screwing js browser fingerprinting on network level by injecting js that randomizes the image creation etc.).
