The blokada 5 app on android has not got an update for more than a year, probs due to their focus mostly on blokada 6 now. Any alternatives for a ad/tracker blocker on android for a non rooted phone like blokada 5, with regular updates.

Try RethinkDNS app, plenty of control.

Replacement for blokada 5

Blokada leaks DNS over TCP. It isn’t unheard of for trackerware SDKs to use DNS over TCP.

Some consider Blokada itself a trackerware (ref).

Also, they plagiarised code from at least one FOSS project (DNS66) without attribution (ref).
