I appreciate your reassurance, but now that Apple has messed with both of my ad blockers with the new update, I have no choice but either to 1) give them my credit card data and buy one of their blocker apps, or 2) put up with ads.

It’s been horrible today since I updated Safari — every site except FR is full of ads, and I get frequent reminders onscreen from Apple that AdBlockPlus is slowing down my browser, which I PREFER, since it used to keep the ads away. But it no longer does now that Apple’s update has crippled AdBlockPlus and removed UBlock entirely from my computer.

As a user, I am like a singer who does not want to have to learn how a piano is constructed in order to have accompaniement; and I do not want to have to get a degree in computer architecture just to use a laptop without constant aggravation from dancing ads and pop-ups.

Any ideas?

Same thing here, I dumped Safari and went to Firefox.
