Ahh, I see! I think I misunderstood how classification worked. I was imagining a list of rules (some customizable, some proprietary and unknown) that get evaluated and push connections into each category/bucket. But instead it seems, connections could go in any of the buckets, and rules for each one get evaluated in order of the categories. So some could be Web Browsing, or could be Streaming, or could be Learn-From-Home, changing the order of them around may result in it changing where it appears? This is rather different from my Tomato days, which had one sequentially evaluated list. You stuck your heavy hitters like torrent traffic at the top of the list, since you'd be classifying hundreds of those per second, and then worked downward from there.
Oh, that might be a copy paste error. I had about 20 screenshots in Paint.net as I was piecing together what was happening. That one may have been before I scrapped Snapchat, as I was removing them one by one and retesting where things landed. If I had grabbed the screenshot to the right of it, probably no squiggly.

Cheers. This interaction is helping me wrap my head around the differences. I didn't imagine that re-ordering categories would change where connections end up.And the 2 rules moving TikTok and Crunchyroll would now be superfluous since they are in Streaming by default.
