One of the novelties iOS 9, which was not discussed during the keynote, concerns Safari. Apple engineer Ricky Mondello revealed that in iOS 9, it will be possible to block advertising within Safari. iOS developers will be able to create extensions for Safari that will be able to block selected content such as cookies, images, pop-ups and other web content. Content blocking can then be easily controlled directly in the system Settings.
No one expected a similar step from Apple, but perhaps it is not entirely surprising. The news comes at a time when Apple is preparing to launch a new News application, which will be tasked with collecting news and news from a large number of relevant sources, such as Flipboard does. The content of the application will be loaded with advertisements running on the iAd platform, which will not be subject to blocking, and Apple certainly promises decent revenues from it. But the advertising giant Google is behind most of the advertising on the web, and Apple likes to screw it up a bit by allowing it to be blocked.
The vast majority of Google's profits come from advertising on the Internet, and its blocking on iOS devices can cause considerable inconvenience to the company. Considering the iPhone's popularity in key marketing markets like the US, it's clear that AdBlock for Safari might not be a proxy problem for Google. Apple's main rival could lose a lot of money.
Great, I can't wait for the Beta at least! :D
Great :)
so far it's not worth it, the battery lasts barely 1/2 day, nothing to write about.
Do you have a developer card?
I uploaded it to the ipad and it can't send photos in imess, otherwise I didn't do anything else :) I couldn't call from the last beta 1 :)
it's so easy to use...
It would be great if safari could be completely removed and it would be an IE application and everything would be fine
You don't have to use Safari, or does another browser not work?
It's not just about Google. A large number of servers make a living from advertising, I assume that, for example, jablickar.cz...
And when we all have advertising blocked, servers like Jablickar.cz will be "dead" and we will pay for everything.
ok, so if I have a page divided in such a way that 1/3 of the content is crap ads, half of the reviews are ads for shit that is miraculously actually good, then it's OK, especially since it's free :) I'll pay monthly for jablickare.cz a lot if they deliver quality content without ads.
So you're going to pay a monthly fee for each server you go to? I can assure you that you will be few and far between and that the majority will always go for the "free" content that you pay for by seeing an ad on a page.
see GUEST
I can advertise, especially here on apple. she is sensual and sexy.
it's great that I finally won't see that embarrassing android from alza.cz :-D
and it works for someone, it can't be set on the iPad... :(
