Dean is about to send out 500 random invites to the next batch of users who signed up for beta testing. Hopefully, I will get lucky and be one of the random picks. 
Got a tip for us?

I just got a Blockr TestFlight invite. Lots of user options. Seems to be working well thus far.
Edited to add: I have been putting it through the website paces, and it has been doing well. I did notice that when you turn the media blocker on, you are left with white boxes most of the time, unless there is an embedded video, then it is a black box.
Under settings, it has three user toggles: Media Blocker, Privacy Blocker and Cookie Warning Blocker. You also have the option to whitelist certain websites and whether you want media ads and embeds available, as well as whitelisting social buttons and cookie block sites.
You can report websites as well as contact the developer(s) within the app.

I've been working on an ad blocker called Blacklist. Will be priced at $0.99 when it's released, currently is in App Review.
Has anyone found that the "reload without content blockers" option in Safari doesn't actually work? (accessed by long-pressing the reload button)
When I use it, blocked content is visible for a few seconds while the site is loading, but as soon as loading is complete, it all disappears.

I'm on the 9.0 GM, so I'm curious if there is something weird about my configuration or if this is a GM bug.
I love TunnelBear which provide a free 500mb VPN service. And now, they released an ad blocker called BlockBear. I haven't tried BlockBear but I'd like to know if anyone tried it? Also, isn't it easier for a company to maintain an app like this vs an individual?
