My dashboard shows “Percentage blocked 2,2%”. What does this mean?
97.8% has been allowed to pass and everything passed was ‘clean’?
Does it provide info about the performance of the eBlocker; its ‘goalkeeper’-function?

It’s simple math: Blocked requests /(divided by) Total requests = Ratio of blocked request.
In your case ratio is 2.2%. In my case 6.5%. It indicates how much eBlocker saved you of „nonsense“ in terms of requests.
A page visit usually sends several request to get all individual page elements (images, video, font etc. - but also tracker and ads). One request per element.
I‘m not sure what you mean with your gatekeeper question. eBlocker blocks 100% of trackers/ads/malware it finds matches for...
Hope this helps.
THX!

Just to understand, does this mean that you visit more ‘tricky’ (whichever) sites than i do; that you are - for whatever reason - more ‘under attack’ than i am?

This than means, that the ONLY flaw the eBlocker has, is the quality of the lists used. Correct?
@robfranssen-fr I‘m at 4.7%.
I would rather iterpret that I am visiting more sites with lots of ads as I‘m a „news adict“. And if you‘d call data collecting ads „attackers“, you are right 🤔 😉
And yes, filter lists are core - especially in easylist format, as they are using pattern independend of a domain. That makes eBlocker so powerful compared to „dumb“ domain blockers (i.e, the pi-hole alternative is DNS only).
