ZDNet claims that Apple’s Safari has deprecated and shut off all ad blocker extensions over the past 18 months, yet nobody has complained about it (something the author is attributing to the “small” installed base of iOS and Safari users). I wonder how they can state with a straight face that over 1.2 billion users can be called a “small user base”. My ad blocker is still working fine on those webpages I want it to work on. Anyone else? Personally, I think this may be a FUD article as we are still within the product release FUD Season, and also only six days away from the end of Apple’s end of Fiscal Year, another normal time for FUD articles to appear attempting to force down the value of AAPL stock. —PING!

Thanks to Freeper BTerclinger for the heads-up on this article.

POSSIBLE APPLE FUD ARTICLE BASED ON TIMING ALONE

I am totally hating the new environment without UBlockPlus.

I use AdBlockerPlus on my iphone and Ipad. It blocks some ads, not all. Apple just wants to make sure you experience the internet the way they intend it to be, ads and all.

A big minus on Apple’s part, just part of their ideology of , “We know what’s best for you” overlord mindset. Apple, slightly less evil than google.

When’s this supposed to have taken effect? My adblocker works flawlessly.

I highly recommend pi-hole. It is a free, open-source network-wide adblocker that runs on a Raspberry Pi (or any Linux system). I have it set up at home, and any device that connects to my WiFi (or hardwired) is automatically protected from Ads and bad hombre sites. This includes cell phones, tablets, PS4, XBOX, Windows machines... everything!

13.1 update has essentially neutered the AdBlock plus on my ipad. Same website that I had watched 70+ episodes of a television with minimal ads, (1 redirect attempt), now it's a barrage of ads. After five minutes of f"ing around, I quit. Thanks Apple !

A work around is watching them via Firefox with NoScript and Ghostery which I have on my old Mac Mini. Instead of watching where ever I please on my ipad I'll sit in front of my Mac Mini. So yes, they have neutered Ad blocking . Disgusting ! The Firefox with NoScript and Ghostery = Smooth sailing.

Could probably do the same on a linux distro, which I will certainly look into. Apple has lost a formerly faithful customer of 10 years.
