I was looking forward to these in ios9 — some sites are not useable because of awful ads. As I scroll down the page, more ads load at the top and I retreat up the page. Vertigo inducing and unpleasant.
So what should I use?
1Blocker which has good reviews was not on the UK App Store. Crystal seemed good and surprise, was free for the first comers. It just works!
Shortly after, I noticed Peace from Marco Arment. I like him and his apps. The cost of £2.29 was well worth it. It did prove to be rather vigorous so that TheTimes.co.uk did not load, but I was able to whitelist this site and ads here are ok.
Then Marco gets cold feet and pulls the app. I did get a refund — the first time ever. So,the app was purged.
Today, & 79p later I also have Blockr. More stuff I can fine tune on this app than Crystal. It too is sometimes too blunt, but these are the opening shots in a new war and there is time for finesse to develop
