it's not recommended but sometimes it works: two rule sets can go quite well together, but sometimes they will cause safari forced reloads and issues with webpages.
Guys, what's the best 3 content-blocker that you would recommend from your experience so far?
I haven't tried any yet but would rather jump straight into the best ones and save installing junk.
Thanks

Awesome, can't wait to put it through it's paces!
I still have a few loose ends to tie up with the Selenium review (which will be posted this afternoon) but, wanted to say that Silentium did very well in initial testing. The price of the app will change (more than likely) tomorrow.
Beta invites for 1.1 are out
Let me know!
One of my tester sites courier.co.uk broken...
MoboTap wasn't clear on its FAQ if it block trackers but I assume it does. If not now,i guess in the next version they will (clearly).
I don't think it's a good idea to use many blockers at once due to pollution (more unnecessary code to run), leading to more cpu use.
For now the best ones are Purity and AdBlocker (MoboTap). I downloaded the latter while free and uninstalled the other ones.

I like AdBlocker a lot, but currently running Silentium 1.1 and it's slick!
What's the problem with Crystal all off sudden? Sure it's somewhat basic and sure there are better ones out there, but the reviews are mostly positive (at least they were) and it seems to do the job, so while it might not be the best or even great and maybe even barely good, not sure if that somehow means it's horrific suddenly.
This is weird. "Do not track" is the name of an HTTP header field that a browser can set. Content blockers have no access to that.
A couple of observations in the Silentium 1.1 beta.
They implemented a feature I requested. You can now see the date and time of the latest rules update.
The social media button is now in the app. It now has a separate sliders for social media buttons and removing comments. The update seems to be loading pages faster as well. Back to testing.

It blocks sponsored ads.
Cool! So unlike AdBlocker they block sponsored ads, social widgets and have whitelisting
I really like this app. The UI is slick. It's becoming more customizable as well. I appreciate the developers reply to my e-mails and actually act on the feedback sent.
