I remember that blokada 4 includes a default preset of system apps that were bypassed. This list included dial app, play services, Something more, I don’t remember.
And now bl5 comes with an empty list. We don’t have to worry anymore with some incompatibility with blokada and system apps? What changed?
I’ve reinstalled Blokada 4.9 to check the list but it seems signal is the only one bypassed by default. Google Play Services was NOT bypassed by default as it would render blokada almost useless adblocking-wise but i believe Play Store was, along with GDrive and possibly Google Duo. You really shouldn’t bypass any app system or otherwise as long as you don’t encounter problems using it.
