It kinda sucks, I thought it would have been very useful to check the battery left on my bluetooth headphones.

on first blush, 9 seems to have made my 6+ more stable than before. Hopefully, safari doesn't start crashing all of the time and my podcast app wont randomly shut down anymore
no. you just have to run the app once. doing so will turn-on/prompt background app usage, download the database, etc. yeah this threw my for a loop also on Peace. The devs should put in their descriptions that you MUST run an ad blocker app once to get it to work in Safari.
I've had it on since like PB2 or PB3 (forgot which). If your carrier supports it, my answer is... not that I'm aware of? Granted my actual voice usage at home has dropped to near non-existent levels.. but using voice at home, I've never once had an issue with it.

I can't get the music app to show up when I plug in my headphones on the lock screen. What gives?

has anyone experienced less safari tab refreshes after content blocking
So read receipts for individual contacts/group messages isn't included in iOS9? That was one of my most hype features 
It can interfere with Handoff calling depending on your provider. But if you're with TMobile though, go right ahead

I'm on AT&T, which is why I was asking. It's a new option for me.
I turned them off. They were bothering me too.
There are apps available like Weblock that allow for adblocking via a different mechanism. Wifi only, but that's good enough for an iPad.

I have a little glitch where it's tellingl me I have 3 app updates available, but when I go to update nothing needs updating. I've tried restarting too. Anyone else having this? Pretty happy with the upgrade, my 6+ hasn't crashed once in Safari. Yahoo mail crashes to the Home screen upon login, but the app is still open. I might try re-downloading that app.
this is a predictive thing I believe. So if you listen to music a lot over headphones, siri will do it. As with all predictive things (like drive time to work, etc) you have to give it time for siri to build up behaviors.
iOS content blocking is only available on 64-bit platforms, yes. Air/mini2 and higher only.

You can turn it off.
The iOS 9 extensions are specifically for Safari.

Had the same glitch. I had to delete 2 of 5 of the apps that I needed to update and reinstall and then the other 3 popped up with the update option.

Yeah I had the same thing. Just back out and refresh and you will see "Update All" for a quick second before it grays out again. You gotta be really fast.
You'd think they'd open it up to apps that have in-app browsers too.
If the app uses the new Safari web view it will work too. Otherwise I'm pretty sure the developers can integrate those themselves.
It would still be Safari, no?
This whole extensions thing is basically (another) fuck you to Google.

Haha, I actually fixed it by deleting Yahoo Mail (which was crashing to the Home screen after logging in) and once I re-downloaded it the updates showed.

Crystal is also free. Seems to work great too. I'll be testing all three (purify/crystal/peace) now.

Yes, and I heard X10 published an article saying built-in popup blockers are bad because people should sign up for the amazing X10 spy cam the smallest spy camera to spy on your nanny

Wow, I'm impressed. This is the first iOS update where I feel like my phone is running better instead of worse. What a feeling

Hmm, that image doesn't specify if font blocking is enabled in purify. If it's enabled, no doubt the page will download faster, but that's going to far IMO. Comparison should be made just for ad blocking first, and then for other added features .He probably saw this chart
they do.. anything that calls the safari control inside of an app gets content blocking for free. Peace is awesome. Quick access to whitelisting. Super fast.
I belive it is open to other apps that use the new Safari WebView API (e.g. most eventually)

I don't quite understand what does iit do. It won't let me make international calls for local price while I'm at home, or anything like that, right?
It is simply for making calls when you have a weak cell signal. It still counts against your plan.

That just makes me wanna put one even more. How putting that big ad add on such a small screen is beyond stupid and annoying. Consider the adblock app installed.
Still shit with lower power mode. Bluetooth always off, only use chrome, most my usage shows in chrome. Brightness is low.
Is chrome better than safari on iPhones? I've never bothered with Safari.
Amazing.

They brought this on themselves.
No. Safari is best on any Apple device. Not even on a desktop Mac I would touch Chrome.
Chrome on iOS is battery hungry in my experience compared to Safari. Anecdotally that may be tied to how many other google apps you have installed and the amount of account syncing that goes on between them/desktop counterparts.

I've used both Peace and Purify, and Purify is a much better experience. I've seen Peace stop the FedEx tracking site from working, wreck the style sheet for the Associated Press site, and leave blank spaces for ads while Purify removed the spaces as well without all the false-positive problems that Peace seems to have.
Cannot recommend Peace. I do recommend Purify.

Well, I'm pleasantly surprised with this update. My 6 seems to be running more smoothly. No performance issues yet.
What's not so great is yet more junk apps being tacked on that can't be deleted. Into the junk folder you go. Also, is there any way to completely turn off the Google Now-like search screen when you swipe to the left?

this means absolutely nothing to me. clarify?

You like me, you really really like me!
This has been my experience as well. Purify's blocking lists are optimized for mobile which means you get less issues like this.
Purify is the most "Apple-like" of all the content blockers. The 3.99 is worth it IMO.
