Interesting move. Wonder if it'll come to iOS ?

Dolphin on iOS did a pretty good job of blocking ads, and opera is doing ok as well, but there aren't really any majorly effective adblock solutions for iOS as far as i can see.

Alternatively just use Firefox and µBlock.

I boycott Adblock Plus as they let through certain ads if they're paid enough.

Try AdBlock Edge which is a fork of AdBlock Plus without the ads whitelist

Interesting. I wasn't actually aware uBlock was available on Android.

I use Weblock on iOS and it works flawlessly.

It's being discontinued in favour of µBlock hence why I listed that

Anything for iOS?

I tried it and couldn't log in to DS. The keyboard wouldn't pop up. It looks identical to Chrome.
