If you suspect that Blokada blocks less advertisements than earlier, please refresh your lists. To do it,

1. open Blokada’s settings by swiping up
2. tap on _Ad blocking_
3. choose _Ad blocking settings_ at the bottom of the screen
4. choose _Download lists now_

Usually it happens because new servers are added to the existing ones that are not (yet) identified and added to the blacklists, or the new list is not downloaded to your phone, therefore they are not (yet) blocked.  
Alternatively you can enable more host lists or add more restrictive filters in the _Blacklist_ menu.

Please note that Blokada uses 3rd party lists, therefore if the app itself worked earlier and blocked ads, without changes it should behave the same way.
