Unfortunately, site admins will just bitch about ad blockers instead of actually fixing their shit.
Let them bitch, and let them burn. This is our land now.

It's hard to believe that my days of seeing Game of War ads for on my phone are over. :')
OK, now it works. The blocklist wasn't updating, presumably due to load.
Holy shit what a difference in performance.

I had one this morning that opened Messages and prefilled their number and a long text subscribing to some premium text service. Luckily they couldn't send it automatically, but I thought it was an appropriate symbol of why this is necessary on the day that ad blocking becomes possible on iOS.

Was this supposed to be sarcastic?
You mean snappier?

Crystal really needs whitelisting ASAP. Can't even watch a video on Giant Bomb with it turned on.

Wow. Yeah, this shit needs to stop. I'm all for giving sites ad money and all but when the ad creators have gotten this out of control and desperate then the gloves are off. You no longer get a say.

There's no way to use the ad blockers on chrome right?

How do I see the batteries in the notification settings? I don't seem to have the option for that widget.
There should be a new dedicated "Batteries" section in the setting app. Try that.

Quick Google search shows people think the widget only becomes available when you're connected to another device (apple watch for example).
I've been using the beta and it seems to show up there randomly, I'm sure there's some logic behind it, but I haven't figured it out

Google will never let it happen
Initial impressions
Multitasking on iPad is really nice
So is PiP
I really like the news app. I especially like how you can add a page right from safari. I won't be using flipboard or feedly again.
Apple Music still isn't great. I was mentioning in the thread that I can't make entire playlists available offline. Wtf Apple.

i wonder about that to. where is it ?
Time to try the new nifty spotlight search.
not exactly. The base install footprint is much smaller. The OS itself is about as large as it has always been, give or take. Apple just made it so that if you only had, say 2-3GB of available space on your phone, you'd be able to install the newest OSes without deleting apps/files.
So (I believe) the base install/download for iOS9 is in the 1.9GB ballpark. But when it's installed, it's roughly the same size overall as iOS8.
Sort of sort of not.. You can bulk download playlists offline, yes. But there is no such thing in music as designating a playlist as flagged offline (i.e. new songs added to it will auto-download). Pretty sure that behavior is a design decision. Not sure what the answer is. TBH, it behaves currently like I'd personally expect it to. I only want songs (or playlists, or albums, etc) to download that I explicitly download.. Not "auto-download" because of some setting I flagged months (or years) ago, etc. Stuff that is available offline won't be deleted for space automatically like the normal caching.
That being said, I understand what is being asked for.. not sure the answer.. a setting or special kind of playlist?
Someone pointed out that it's coming in iOS 9.1 if you're from UK or Australia.

SlideOver
Is there any way to edit the list of which apps show up in the SlideOver tray on iPad? If not, it needs to be introduced in a future update. Maybe a section in the settings app at the very least. I don't really need Tips and Game Center in there. And a whole lot else as more third-party apps begin to add SlideOver functionality. I love SlideOver, but only for a select few apps.
Without a way to edit it, the SlideOver tray will become a cluttered mess, quick.

Still cant find it -.- ....
Can you put up an itunes download link?
The Tray works like the app switcher - recently used apps appear towards the bottom. After a while you'll never see tips or game center.

Oh ok, I thought the UK might have been one of the first to get it.
Edit: I see above that we'll have to wait.
well, it does sort by recent, bottom to top, right?
so, eventually you'd have messages, messenger, email and whatnot at quick disposal.
heres all of them https://www.reddit.com/r/ios9/comments/3l6dj1/the_official_ios_9_content_blocker_thread/cv3rle6
i'm gonna wait for some comparisons before buying one

Eurgh not keen on the new keyboard font or somethings changed about it :/
US or UK regions only at the moment I believe. Change your iPhone region and reboot to get it.
like task switcher. will list apps by most recently used. thus frequently used apps will always be at the top.
If you are dextrous, you can kill 4 apps at once now!

Twitch you can put /hls at the end of the stream URL (i.e. http://twitch.tv/streamer/hls) in Safari, start it up and pop it out to picture in picture. Plus no ads.

Thanks!
Will prolly wait a lil bit also(but download at least crystal for now then delete it just in case it ends up costing $$$)
