i already shared that in previously page.
No, that doubtful link won't end any myth; because there is no myth.
PURIFY is the most fastest and it is the most efficient content blocker. This is a fact; not a myth. test for yourself.
1Blocker is a joke. it doesn't block any sponsored ads...

Sorry, didn’t see that the link was already posted.
And Yes, these days I’m often switching between Purify, Blockr and Silentium … and never saw any significant speed advantage in favor of Purify. Depending on the page, sometimes it feels a bit faster, sometimes even one of the others feel faster.
Edit:
And I’m not sure that Brooks’ comparison is really that “doubtful” as you say:
I just had a closer look at the final chart (average load times), and it reflects exactly my every-day experience, that Purify and Blockr are almost identical, speedwise.
I never extensively used 1Blocker, precisely for the reason you stated (no sponsored-ad blocking).

Hi. I'm the developer behind Ad Block Multi. Guys, eager to hear your opinions on using it and tips what could be improved. If you tried it earlier, there are the latest improvements: the update was propagated on the App Store yesterday morning and a lot of regional filters has been added, including China, Greece, Korea and Slovakia.
Make sure that you have crystal turned on in settings > safari > content blockers. I've found that it turns off when I thought it was on
There is a safari extension, action button, to report websites that still have ads. Do this
Because it probably hasn't pulled in the blocklist yet. Run the Crystal "app" and check the "Blocklist Version" at the bottom of the screen. If it says "0" then it won't block ads until it pulls the blocklist. If it doesn't pull almost immediately, there is an issue. I couldn't get it to pull over Cellular (in 1.0 anyway) and had to get on wifi where it pulled almost immediately.
This is me. Its good enough and far better than what we had previously... Which was nothing.
Watching for AdblockPlus to launch something very thorough and comprehensive. They did recently release a dedicated browser recently somthey are watching the iOS space... Id like to see a plugin by them.
Edit: confirmed, they are coming soon
Thanks, GT.
I'll give that a look.
And I hear what you're saying.
Typical Apple ... it was down to them that Flash was phased out.
Anyone used Ad Block Multi?
How does it compare to Purify? Looks like it has much more customization options...

Hi there!
Very tempted to try out the app, but will you be adding UK regional specific filters in the near future? Will be happy to beta test them if you do!

edit2: it's in the review process and has been since at least Friday! woop woop!

That's a great ad blocking extension. Awesome it's coming to iOS and dev says it will be free. Wow!
Maybe something specific in the future, but for now Essentials is handling 99% of ads in English.
Dont trust anything from AdBlockPlus. They accept money from ad companies to whitelist their trackers/ads.
They only allow them to show if you leave the box checked that says allow unonbtrusive ads. If you uncheck that box, it blocks all those "paid" whitelisted ads too. AdBlock + explains this on their site.
