No flash no ads, sounds like Apple is stepping up their security game.
Ad networks are one of the primary ways malware is spread today. Iām no fan of Apple but I applaud them for this move.
As for sites that rely on ad revenue, sorry but thatās the breaks. The world does not have to operate according to your business model.
Iām just quoting this because it needs to be said over and over. That goes especially for the whiners running the shakedown operation that is adblock plus (If youāre still using ABP, Ī¼block is a good alternative. Less resource intensive, and doesnāt have the āwhitelistā anti-feature).
Of course, this is also another play in the battle between apple and google. This gives you a reason to choose the ios ecosystem over android, and cuts into googleās revenue stream from apple devices. Your move, mountain view.
For Android users, Lightning Browser has built-in ad blocking.
Edit: oops, looks like the paid version,Lightning Browser + , is the one with adblock.

I use Ghostery, with GhostRank (the data send option) turned off. However, lately thereās been a hidden feature in Firefox (alpha) called āTracking Protectionā thatās in alpha that appears to supersede it quite well.
The wave is coming.
