Starting with Blokada v5.6, and v4.10, a new blocklist is available in Blokada: Developer Dan’s Hosts.

What is it?
A general purpose blocklist, that compiles many other blocklists into one, and tries to avoid false positives. It gets regular updates. There are several configurations, which we are including in the app.
It’s part of our search for the new default blocklist (instead of Energized Blu), so please try it out, and let us know how it works for you.
This blocklist list is reasonably sized, with around 240k hosts in the “Ads & Tracking” configuration (similar to Energized Blue).
