Support NeoGAF

[Zeyphersan]

for some reason I love the app update rush after a new OS release



I just had to reboot my iPad and they started popping up.

Still nothing!

Forward is what I'm referring to. A forward swipe is a swipe to the left. Is there a new gesture for it?

It works for me but I swipe closer to the bottom then left. If you use the middle then it goes to the split view or whatever

We are finishing up a few final touches on Tweetbot 4. Thanks for your patience. We think it will be worth it. http://t.co/E73N6AlgsY

New Tweetbot coming for iPad. I'm hoping it supports Slide Over.

Marco Arment, of Tumblr, Instapaper, and Overcast, has released his content blocker called Peace, powered by Ghostery.

Bought. Love that I can block web fonts that are always slow to load.

 

[Vyer]

PiP works well. Trying to find the right size window for Hulu browsing.

Still nothing!

Hmm. Maybe kill all the apps out of memory and then reboot? Update did go through ok right? Not sure.

Feels like they've been saying this for years.

Purify is the best of all of these

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Shoot, I deleted Tweetbot 2 for iPad years ago. I got Twitterific thinking it would be temporary until Tweetbot for iPad is updated.

Soon!

On iPad


Copy and paste is currently bugged when in split screen mode and using the copy icon. Copying text from one app to another in split screen itself works if you highlight and copy. I tried inserting a link from Safari into the Word app using the copy icon. Doesn't work. Doesn't seem to be working outside of split screen mode either. Works in iOS8.

Alright, installed. I'm......giving Peace a chance.

Blocking ads is so easy, and the results are magic.

Whereas white listing requires some thought and isn't currently available in the free/most popular content blocker (Crystal).

It's going to get ugly.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

I don't visit the Verge because it is a shit site, so my Peace purchase is my indirect way to say screw you to Vox media and Nilay.

 

[Glass Shark]

Peace was an instant buy. I know I can trust the care and thought Marco puts into his apps. Also, the icons are just gorgeous.

 

[LyleLanley]

Man, I feel like he used to be cool but now his transition in to the suit he claims to hate so much is complete.

 

[kaskade]

I'm gonna go with Marco's. I was going to get purify but I haven't had a bad experience with an app he's created.

 

[Glass Shark]

Also, I just realized today that website Handoff works between Safari on iOS and Chrome on OS X and vice-versa. MAGIC

 

[Dany]

What about ad blockers on chrome?

 

[AtomicShroom]

What about ad blockers on chrome?

Nope. Only supported in Safari.

 

[TenaciousNorth]

Purify also blocks popups and removes white spaces where ads used to be and allows whitelisting. As do Blockr and some other paid blockers.

Basically what I'm trying to say is Crystal is trash and it is hilarious that I got the expected answers from cheap asses on here.

You never thought about donating to the guys that made adblock, ublock etc. either right? They make your web experience the way you know it. It is something you use every single day. If $3,99 is too expensive for that then wtf is wrong with you.

I have zero problems paying for something that is worth the money I was just enquiring about the feature differences before I wasted money on something that was potentially the same as a rival free app.

It also works between website and apps now. If I'm watching Hulu on my Mac, my iPad will give me the option to hand it off to the Hulu app

 

[NekoFever]

God, there are so many content blockers. It's going to take ages before there's a consensus on which is the best, isn't it?

 

[sangreal]

if they didn't make the experience so miserable maybe I wouldn't block his ads. I don't have a problem with advertising, but Safari was becoming unusable

 

[Yaboosh]

Does anybody else have almost no inertia/momentum when scrolling with Safari on an iPhone 6+? It makes using it horrible since scrolling takes forever. This isn't an issue on my Air2.

 

[strikeselect]

Just bought Purify. It's much more polished than Crystal. I recommend.

Same. Intertia is basically nothing on my 6 Plus while my Air 2 is normal

Peace looks to be even better, and the dev has a fantastic track record.

 

[dLMN8R]

The Verge is twice as fast when using content blockers. LOL

I had no idea this worked. I am so happy now, thank you.

 

[Zeyphersan]

They eventually just showed up. Now I just need my iPhone App Store to push updates and we're all gravy

 

[Yaboosh]

It almost feels like it is slowing scrolling down so that you don't see the page loading in, since scrolling fast in Mercury or Chrome reveals page load ins.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

yeah i just bought Peace because of Arment's track record. Overcast is my most used app. I'm sure he'll consider feedback and update as he sees fit. If you listen to the Accidental Tech Podcast, he's pretty transparent with his design decisions and responses to feedback. I look forward to hearing he and Siracusa talk for an hour about it.


Meanwhile Casey Liss be all mopey bc his app has made like $7 lifetime smdh

 

[FStop7]

The indexing/background stuff after the upgrade took about 20 to 30 min to settle down on my 6. It's been fine since then.

 

[giga]

ESPN is actually usable now with Peace installed. No more god damn full page ad with a tiny small X to close it.

 

[boxter432]

I don't even know what "why not read everything Apple News" means.

 

[Zeyphersan]

The future

 

[giga]

I don't even know what "why not read everything Apple News" means.

I think he's insinuating that ad blockers value a good user experience, which apple news is supposed to provide. So instead of blocking ads, why don't they just use apple news. It's a silly argument.

The future

Seems odd that NeoGAF is promoting a cd key site? Thought that was frowned upon here.

 

[Guess Who]

That's a wonderful example of the problems faced when relying on third-party ad networks.

 

[Yaboosh]

I think he is saying that Apple News steals page clicks from content providers, just like content blockers steal ad revenue from the same people, so doing both are bad?

 

[Ambient80]

The butt hurt is real.

 

[Maninthemirror]

Apple wants to see how much Google can make without ad revenue from iOS devices

 

[giga]

God he's thick. Apple news is an RSS reader. All of its feeds are public.

 

[The Real Abed]

The future

PIP really needs to be implemented in OS X. It would look much cleaner than the method I need to use now...

It wouldn't even be hard to implement. When in Mission Control, simply drag a compatible window to the bottom left or right corner. Then it would appear floating above everything, be resizable and follow the screen focus as you switch between spaces in the background.

 

[RastaMentality]

The future

Is this Netflix?

 

[Zeyphersan]

Huh, I hadn't even noticed

Is this Netflix?

Hulu

 

[TenaciousNorth]

Just bought Peace and comparing to crystal on the iPad. Would appear that peace removes the ads but leaves the white spacing where the ad would be whereas crystal shifts everything in to place as if the ads never existed.

 

[KingKong]

God he's thick. Apple news is an RSS reader. All of its feeds are public.

Its a very poor rss reader since you cant actually add rss feeds to it

 

[HowZatOZ]

Oh Apple, your servers are terrible when it comes to big updates.

 

[LyleLanley]

Apple wants to see how much Google can make without ad revenue from iOS devices

I question how many average users are actually going to install content blockers on their phones.

Hmm. I was seeing blank space with Crystal.
On some sites though it does rearrange slightly. (Using one or the other)
