That's odd, why would it happen to some and not others? What are you searching for, when you put in the item you are searching are you also changing the drop down to a particular subject or are you leaving it as "All"? I just tried Amazon and searched for a music artist and left it as "All" and it brings up all that artist music CD's. So I'm not getting any blank pages on Amazon, ads are gone and works as it should with Purify Ad blocker.
Got a tip for us?

Purify 1.1.1 has been submitted for review to the App Store!
No, although it won't hurt anything being turned on at the same time as your content blocker.
My content blocker works only on wifi, so the native iOS Safari Pop Up Blocker helps when I'm on cellular where there's no wifi. I don't have any problems right now.
I have no desire to funnel my data through that company's VPN. Earning rewards for using their app means that they are selling your information somewhere down the line.
No thanks.
That title tells me everything I need to know about their business model. In other words, "we spy on your web browsing and app usage, build a detailed profile about you, sell it to advertisers and data brokers, and all you can get in exchange are some crappy deals provided by the very same advertisers."
LOL, I got a mental picture of Google when I read this.
By the way, the reason these types of spyware apps offer rewards in exchange for behavioural data (instead of merely being able to access content for free, as is the norm on the web) is not just to entice more users, but primarily to be able to associate that data with real-world identity. In order to redeem collected points for rewards, you have to provide your real contact details. If you provide fake address, you won't be able to get your reward.
That's what makes this data so valuable to data brokers and so creepy.

I just saw that the real James Woods (actor) posted that he likes Purify on his Twitter feed.

I almost never endorse products, but the new ad blocker app for iPhone called PURIFY is a miracle. Destroys internet advertising greed.

Wow, that's cool!!
For me, this app has worked very well and I don't have the need to try out any others, it was worth the $1.99

As far as being fast/efficient, that varies depending on your location, ISP since sometimes people are reporting differing results.
Try Adblock Fast since its free and if you want more customization options, leading paid apps are: Purify, Adblock Multi, Silentium, AdMop, 1Blocker, Lionz, Adblocker for Safari.

Alot of people are ditching Crystal now lol. I just recently purchased Purify, it loads my webpages pretty quickly. I haven't noticed an increase in battery life though for Ad-heavy webpages, but I might notice it down the line.
The developer is really friendly and responds to most questions on Twitter as well.
