Any opinions on the pay version of Adblocker for Safari Browser by the Dolphin creators, Mobotap?

Didn't block Google ads when I tried it a few days ago and the app only worked in portrait mode on iPad. But the icon is nice. First app I reclaimed my money for.

Can someone explain how you actually use whitelisting with Purify? The page is blank and no matter what I do I can't figure out how to put something on the list. Thanks.

From the safari app you use the popup option button on the bottom of pages and there will be a "purify actions" button there. Select that and it has an option to whitelist the page your on or report a problem. If you don't see the button scroll to the right of that option bar and select "more" and you should see an option to turn on purify actions there

Share sheet. I like that Purify uses a share sheet action - it seems easier and requires less work for the user without having to switch apps.

Thanks for this. Would never have found that. But now this came up: Your Purify preferences for this site have changed. Reload to see them take effect!. Again not sure what to do. Opened app and didn't see anything that said reload.

I did and it's gone. I accidentally white listed this site when looking at the settings but figured out how to delete it from the sheet.

Reloading is just to have the page loaded with the new settings (the whitelist settings) having taken effect.

P.S.: "whitelisting" a site means that Purify won't filter stuff when you're on that site. It's useful if you want to support the site by seeing ads, or if you want to unbreak a site that's broken by the blocking.

Cnet is still broken. The Verge when you enable the social or comment blocking the articles only show on the right side of the screen, the entire left side is blank.

I've been using Purify since it was released. I just deleted it. Your app doesn't break any sites, at least not the ones I visit, and seems to be just as fast if not faster. I hate your app icon, just remove the red. For instance the Safari share button icon is all white and it's actually slick. Great work and thank you! Do you have a Mac ad blocker by any chance? If not, you should make one.

Cool!

I beta tested this version and Roman was very nice throughout the process. Very much worth the download in my opinion.
