It seems that blokada 5 is no longer updated with the release of blokada 6…The last update came about a year and a half ago, even though the app’s stable, that’s a long time for any app to go without any bugfixes. The community may not want any new features like we get in blokada 6, but security updates are a must…I can only guess blokada 5 has been shelved and development resources given to 6.
Hi @senorlopez ,
Thank you for your feedback!
We’re updating the blocklist regularly on Blokada 5, are you seeing any specific bug in the app you’d like to report?
Blokada 5 will always have our attention in case there’s any inefficiency in the adblocking performance but we won’t be adding new features to it like with Blokada 6.
It’s just a minor thing, but ‘devices’ under settings does not load, just a black screen is shown. Blokada 5 on the latest update.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, can you please share a few screenshots of the bug?
It’s just a blank black screen
I have the exact same issue.
I have to post something otherwise the post will be closed. LOL. Along the year so many people appeared and showed upset by blokada 5 situation and that system of closing so fast a topic is brutal. Anyway, the fact is that we can’t do nothing.
Blokada 5 don’t generate revenue for the company, they have employees, fixed costs, I understand. And we can’t complain about the clde, it’s already open source! We only have to pray to someone continue the work. From months to months I try other solutions but unfortunately this is the one that best works for me. I love the idea of controlling everything at my device, excluding specific apps, this is something that blokada 6 or any dns based solution won’t offer to me.
But otherwise I doubt that along this year no depency, library, etc had secure holes exposed that don’t worth updating them.
