I have started to use the Blokada 6 app downloaded from Google Play the last days on a Xiaomi device with MIUI 14 custom Xiaomi OS on Android 12, before I was using the Blokada 5 for a couple of years at the same device also.
Iâve noticed an important for me difference.
On the free (5) version there was more features - settings on the âAdvancedâ tab but at the (6) payed version there is only the Blocklist Filters option there.
Except the âBlocklistsâ there was also the âExceptionsâ to manage blocking of particular websites the âAppsâ to choose apps that will never be blocked and the âNetworksâ to adjust settings for WiFi and Mobile networks.
Why theyâre missing from the 6 version?
Itâs really confusing.
Were those settings in other versions or theyâre not there on the trial version?
Theyâre very useful with the features they have!
Hey @Niknaknok ,
Thanks for posting! The main difference between Blokada 5 & 6 is that Blokada 5 uses the VPN feature to block ads (gets access to your device) and Blokada 6 uses cloud filtering to block ads ( doesnât have access to your device).
This causes certain technical limitations and thatâs why the whitelisting & network feature canât be implemented.
