Anyone using Purify can get the comments section to load at Huffingtonpost? Not working with it enabled or disabled.
I just reported Amazon with it. Only webpage that stutters and only with purify enabled. Before this update I also had a purify problem with Amazon I would get white pages sometimes. I only block ads nothing else.
Have not had issues with other sites with purify so far past 2 weeks.
@chrismatic ,
I have had two more Purify crashes (total of 5 now) since my earlier post. I already had the app loaded in the background. Going to the app as if it hadn't been loaded and engaging the icon has produced two more crashes.

nfl.com still doesn't show a lot of pictures and videos don't load. Same goes with giantbomb.com in regards to videos. Been like that since the first iteration... :/

Hi everyone! I've used Crystal since iOS 9 came out and haven't really lost much time determining how well it works...
Recently came across 1Blocker on the App Store, and wanted to know what the general opinion on it is? Worth the £2.29?
If not, what would the best option be?
Thanks in advance!

^If I were you, I would first take the free ones for a spin (as an example I quite liked Adblock Fast). There are plenty, even some very good ones. If for any reason they don't tickle your fancy (they tend to lack options for customization, whitelisting etc.), then look to the paid ones. Personally I have no experience with 1Blocker, although I've been hearing good things about it. At the moment I'm juggling Purify and Ad Block Multi. Both great pieces of (paid) software.
There's a great thread (sticky) by BasicGreatGuy full of reviews of different content blockers, I would suggest heading there for further research as your first step towards enlightenment. Thing is, people can value different things when it comes to this (like anything else really), so some research is in order.

@BasicGreatGuy has posted a thread dedicated to reviews of the various content blockers. You can find it here:

Adguard, known for their browser extensions and desktop solution, also released a content blocker.

So far I've tried Adblock Plus, Purify, and Crystal.
Crystal was the first one I used, then switched to Purify, then to Adblock Plus, finally back to Crystal.
Purify and Adblock Plus gave me some problems rendering some websites (they would be laggy, etc.). Crystal has so far given me no problems. I know Crystal lets some unintrusive ads go through, but Adblock Plus does so too. As long as they are simple enjoyable ads such as the ones you can find on Reddit, then I'm ok.

Comments on a couple of sites are a problem for me as well with Purify. Just checked and Huffington Post comments are not working either.
Same thing is happening here on my iMac via iTunes. Works fine downloading on the iPhone and iPad.
Thank you both very much!!
Still wondering why you guys are trying to download through iTunes. What's the benefit? If you insist on having the app stored on your computer, why not just update on your iPhone/iPad and then sync with iTunes?
I insist on having apps backed up to my computer so that I always have access, even if Apple pulls them, or developers remove apps themselves (e.g: Marco Arment with Peace). Another reason is if the update breaks something or introduces user-hostile features, I can downgrade to previous version. That's not possible with iOS App Store alone.
Updating on iPhone and then syncing with iTunes no longer works on iOS 9 due to app thinning (it was mentioned before, search this forum).
The issue seems confined to Purify, as I was able to update a couple of other apps yesterday in iTunes.
Because I have two iPhones and I want to be able to sync the apps between the two.
This is still an unresolved error with Purify.
