Where can I find more information about the "Succinct counting blocked Bloom filter"? Can you point to an implementation or a document? Thanks.

Sure. So far, there are only two Java implementations. One is using "Rank" and the other is using "Select":

It should be relatively easy to port it to other programming languages.

Compared to regular counting Bloom filters, there are some advantages (e.g. uses half the space, lookup is much faster, no risk of overflows). It has a disadvantage: add+remove are slower (currently). Cuckoo filters need less space, but otherwise advantages+disadvantages are the same.

For more questions, just open an issue on that project (I'm one of the authors).

Thank you!
