Support NeoGAF

[fierrotlepou]

Anyone else not able to update the apps? Apple servers are probably getting hammered.

Forgive my stupidness...but why would you whitelist a site to allow pop-ups or ads??

Some sites won't play video content if they see you are using an adblocker, so you might need to whitelist in that case for example. And maybe it's a site you personally want to support via the ads or something.

 

[Guess Who]

So you can only use apple apps to multitask?

Third party apps can do it too, but they need updates. A few apps have hit yesterday and today supporting it (MS Office, Twitter, Instapaper, off the top of my head).

 

[snack]

It doesn't.

This new app switcher sorta sucks.

Damn. So I guess just safari ads then eh? Thanks for the quick reply!

 

[Wreav]

USAA app updated to support multitasking, how random.

 

[RedShift]

So you can only use apple apps to multitask?

Only apps that have been updated to use multitasking.

So far that means the native apps, Microsoft Office and Twitter pretty much.

Downloading on my iPhone 6, says it will take 5 hours to download :\

crystal is up!

OH MY GOD

FINALLY

To support a site. Like neogaf for example.

On that note, is running content blocking bannable on neogaf?

Ads are how a site makes money so they can pay the people who make it. If you like what a site is doing, allowing ads means they can keep making money from you.

I really resisted ad blocking for a long time, but sites have abused privilege. These new ads that track everything and where 95% of a page is ads and ad Javascript it's just gone too far.

I'm not seeing any yet really. I know Twitter and Instapaper have one but nothing is showing up.

 

[Stat Flow]

So what's the verdict on the best content blocker? Is it Crystal or did a new one crop up? Since I never played with the beta I haven't kept up with that.

Here's a list of all the ad blockers on iOS 9 so far. https://www.reddit.com/r/ios9/comments/3l6dj1/the_official_ios_9_content_blocker_thread/

Purify dev claims his is quicker than Crystal posted some picture showing the claimed difference.

 

[NekoFever]

God, the difference with Crystal on is ridiculous. Whoever's been letting ad networks get this bloated should be ashamed.

There is no verdict, today is the first day they are supported.

Yeah here's the picture.

 

[Incitemaybe]

In photos, I select all photos in a group then hit "add to" at the bottom and the entire app just closes.

Is this happening with anyone else?

Oh, so Crystal is free right now. Nice. Guess I'm grabbing that. Thanks for the link.

Didn't know if media or anyone else outside of developers had any time with the apps.

 

[EatinOlives]

So I'm clear for upgrading my 5S to this? Because I don't want to touch it if it kills my battery, makes shit slow, etc., but early reviews seem to say 5S perform the same, if not better, on iOS 9.

 

[AtomicShroom]

crystal is up!

Holy shit this is a game-changer! Absolutely mindblown at how fast pages load! <3

But I can't whitelist GAF it seems? :/

 

[pocketaces]

[kaskade]

I just posted crystal since it was first. Purify seems to offer more control which is why I'm probably gonna switch to that. I do want to be able to whitelist some sites.

 

[NekoFever]

Anyone know how I can get the new notes app, I was on the beta and chose to use the old version for compatibility.

If you go into Notes and hit the back button in the top left, do you have a little 'Upgrade' button on the right, above iCloud?

 

[Lima]

Purify is by the same guy that developed uBlock for desktop browsers which is regarded as the best ad blocker. Easy choice, my money is on him.

 

[Brianimaniac]

The Crystal developer said he will update to allow whitelisting.

 

[lucius]

Wasn't iOS 9 suppose to take up like 3GB less than iOS 8 ?

 

[Junior Mint]

Purify is up in Canada. $4.59.

No kidding.

"I have a plethora of analytic and advertising scripts, and I'm going to use every single one of them."

Things like that happen until there's a pushback against it. Now there's the ability for a pushback.

 

[Guevara]

Whoa this is so much better. The internet in general just feels faster.

 

[Wreav]

Good, lord, Crystal. What magic are you doing here?

This might be the killer feature of iOS 9.

 

[Ben Morales]

Will Purify work on iPhone 5c?

 

[jstripes]

Purify is up in Canada. $4.59.

Haha, nope.

I just got Crystal for free. &#128142;

 

[KingKong]

purify app says its only available on ipad?

You mean you don't need connections to 54 domains to read a 200-word story?

 

[strikeselect]

Content blocking is an absolute game changer. Lord.

 

[Wreav]

I "purchased" in itunes, then went to my purchase history on iPhone to get it.

 

[Fliesen]

4x4 folders on the iPad are a godsend.

 

[cjp]

Does it run alright on your 5? Wondering if I should suggest my mom update her phone or hold out.

Based on just the last half an hour, it seems to run great. Not sure whether my mind will change after a couple of days but right now, I say go for it.

 

[Servbot24]

Crystal is working absolute magic.

Haven't tried Purify.

 

[AtomicShroom]

God, the difference with Crystal on is ridiculous. Whoever's been letting ad networks get this bloated should be ashamed.

Not to mention letting them run ads that redirect you from the page you're trying to see, making it impossible to get back to it using the back button, and forcing open the app store (despite Apple having tried in the past to block those) all at once. Advertisers and their lack of supervision/approval control can rot in hell for all I care.

Cause performance can start degrading as you start using more and more apps.

 

[Magwik]

Yeah here's the picture.

Yeah, that's way out of fucking line. Unacceptable.

 

[funkypie]

Downloading now. Hope it fixes the battery drain introduced by 8.4/8.41 and phone feeling hot. Have iphone6

 

[Guevara]

Yeah here's the picture.

I guess the question is, is the marginal improved between Chrystal and Purify worth $3.99?

 

[Fularu]

Will ios9 fix the music player? Because since the launch of Apple music it sucks hardcore.

I can't listen to a full music list on random since it loses track of where it is and replays most songs (Will play a it 25 random songs then cycle through them instead of the 300 songs the list has)

I hope they also fix the list playing reset whenever I unplug my headphones and plug them back in 4 hours later and it restarts at the first song. Those two issues were introduced with iOS 8.4 and haven't been fixed since and make listening to music a pita

 

[Battousi05]

Purify not available in US iTunes??

 

[Interfectum]

holy crap at my browsing speeds on crystal...

 

[McHuj]

Worth putting this on an iPad 3? Put it on my Air, but wondering if the Ipad 3 will be too slow for it,
