Am using Purify & so far no ads at all. Not bad.

 

[szeli]

What info are they possibly getting?

once they get enough users, they can go to ad publishers n ask for $ in exchange for whitelisting ads. something like what crystal is doing although crystal has mentioned it will be opt in for users...

this is usually e practice for free services but crystal is a paid app so...

i am now enjoying ios9 safari content blocker.
Today news and Strait times are notorious for advertisement. now they are gone.

for iOS8. i was using Dolphin browser that blocks ads too.

Purify updated but straits times still blank, not that I care

purify + adblock plus seems the cure for straitimes

New purify seems to be faster and less taxing on battery life. Good optimizations.

just download the app yesterday.

seems good ...

 

[Slpy]

I downloaded adblock plus, seems decent, alot of ads are blocked, pages load faster too.

I'm a chrome user, feel the scrolling for safari is slow too. But use safari can block ads saving data and money. So bo bian, stick w safari

Suggest to you and the others who read this, to stay far far away from adblock plus. They accept payments from advertising companies in exchange for whitelisting their ads, basically being the tollbooth themselves. Crystal is another adblocker which has also partnered with adblock plus' parent company, Eeyo, to show "acceptable" ads.

How does weblock works? I paste the url into Auto section, but it stayed there. Unable to click return, so I clicked back. When I go back to check, proxy is still "off". Anybody can advise?
