The new browser aims to help users reduce mobile data usage, save battery power, and improve performance and security.
The Android version of the browser can be found on this link, and the iOS version on this link. Adblock Plus has just been made available for all iOS devices in the App Store, and has returned to the Google Play Store for the first time since March 2013.
Adblock Plus has released a new application that hopes to replace your browser of choice and speed everything up. In terms of security, users can also disable tracking cookies, potential malware pages as well as “share” buttons for social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.
AdBlock Plus referenced the arrival of Safari’s ad-blocking abilities in the blog post, saying its browser permits the function immediately while it may not appear in Apple’s browser for weeks. Blocking adverts also affects those who provide them – chiefly, Google, which earns the vast majority of its revenue from selling online ads. Surprisingly, Apple as a company had earlier strayed away from supporting ad blocking software and the fact is that users had to jailbreak their devices to install an ad blocker, but with iOS 9 the Cupertino folks themselves are incorporating a method for developers to embed ad bocking functionality in the iOS 9.
Because Adblock Browser has an ad blocker built in, you block the ad and save the cash. But it won’t be the last.
Apple’s new operating system will include an ad-block function for iPhones and iPads. This will let third-party apps prevent certain types of content from loading in the default web browser on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. Weintraub is also exploring adding more links that steer people to buy products on websites such as Amazon.com, allowing 9to5Mac to collect a fee when somebody makes a purchase. Meanwhile, AdBlock works with the Electronic Frontier Foundation to permit advertisers to avoid being blocked if they join the Do Not Track list, which aims to limit what tools advertisers use to keep tabs on people’s online activities.
AdBlock Browser is an all-in-one app that automatically blocks unwanted ads.
Fewer users viewing the advertisements because of ad blockers will have a direct impact on publisher revenue.
. For the first time, the solution to this problem is provided by Adblock Plus.
“Now that we’re in the App Store with Adblock Browser for iOS, all the speculation can end”, said Till Faida. Some said blockers have been ineffective in mobile because they can’t stop the ads in webpages summoned by apps – when Facebook app users tap a link to read an article, for example, without leaving the app.
