It's a pity that all these articles comparing iOS ad blockers look only at the paid apps, some of which have some dubious backgrounds (like selling out to whitelist specific sites). A comparison with free ad blockers would do a whole lot of good instead.
- lstamour 11y agoI suspect it's because there are too many to pay attention to in these short articles. There's 21 listed at http://www.loopinsight.com/2015/09/16/a-list-of-content-blockers-for-ios-9/ http://www.loopinsight.com/2015/09/16/a-list-of-content-bloc... and it's probably not a complete list. Purity, Peace, Crystal and later 1Blocker were all day-one appearances, so they got the most coverage, including here on HN. There's even a long list of open source ones -- and having just looked into this now, I'm thinking of switching to one of these: https://github.com/krishkumar/BlockParty https://github.com/krishkumar/BlockParty https://github.com/yene/CBlocker https://github.com/yene/CBlocker https://github.com/saagarjha/OpenAdblock https://github.com/saagarjha/OpenAdblock (will work on iPhone 5 and 5C, it claims) https://github.com/dgraham/Ka-Block https://github.com/dgraham/Ka-Block (for Safari on OS X) https://github.com/jlnr/SansFonts https://github.com/jlnr/SansFonts (kills web fonts on iOS)
