Well, Adamant was pretty nice and _was_ free until just a few minutes ago. It's removed the in-app purchase and just gone with a straight-up $1.99 purchase format. Going to give it a try for a bit until Purify is updated.
I will be posting a review of this app (suggested by scjr) tomorrow.
At this point, I think I have reviewed a lot of the free ones. There are still a few free ones I have yet to get to. If you are worried that some of the free ones might turn paid down the road, you can always download the free ones now and install later on, if need be.
If I wasn't reviewing apps, I wouldn't bother downloading so many.
Yeah, I saw this over the weekend and was looking for reviews on it. The chart interested me too!
I wouldn't count on any of these charts to be accurate tbh. There is no source and no evidence on where those data are sourced from.
Thanks for the good words. These two weeks have been a bit crazy for me. Though AdMop is not a very popular content blocker, it has gathered quite a lot of users, and I have been trying to give an answer and fix issues as soon as possible.
Fortunately the ad block rules are now quite good and I have time to focus on the next version.
For version 2.0, it will definitely have whitelisting and the ability to manage all your rules from within the app rather than having many Safari extensions, which can be pain to maintain too. I am thinking about a new feature as well which I think it will rock, but it is too early for me to talk about it. If you want to beta test it just drop me a mail through the app, or just by replying to this thread. I hope it is worth the wait.
I have sent an email to the developer about doing a mini-review. Hopefully, i will get a reply soon.
Appshopper is not showing that to me. It is still quoting the sale price and ver. 1.01
Chris posted a Tweet 13hrs ago, that it is still in review, unless that has changed and it is slow to populate the servers.
They lie like a cheap watch! Perhaps it's slowly rolling out, but not yet here in the UK
I haven't received push messages from AppShopper for more than a week, and now it has started sending dozens every few minutes.
Looks like all the missed notifications are finally being delivered.

Silentium is one to consider. It's $1.99, but the UI is very slick and it has options, like customized whitelisting, cookie law banners, social media filtering. Developer is active.
If Purify is still .99 cents, that's a good one as well. Especially after he adds functions in the next update.
AdMop is another one that has great support and future updates will make it even better. Good luck in your search.
Well i have got one called safari blocker....by a luke li who is on this board....a bit embarrassed to say i was attracted initially by the free aspect of it.
How do guys who sell this kind of app for free make money?
Im gonna try this for a bit and see if the concept agrees with me,,.if it does i'll consider a paid app.

Some developers are in it more to help the community than for financial gain.
