Crystal advertising blocker for iOS - a fighter for clean content
Ios / / December 20, 2019
With each passing day it becomes more and more advertising: all kinds of ads and banners flooded most of the resources. With enviable regularity they get out on the screen, as if hypnotizing: Look, come, buy! Liberate your favorite sites from the hype will help Crystal application.
Some people believe that today there is almost no question unanswered, so we are used to access the network for any reason. On the one hand, because of this people have become almost omnipotent. However, for all we have to pay in our lives.
What we pay for such fast access to almost everything, than one can be interested in? First of all the most expensive - our time with you. The fact is that every day the information is valuable, and frankly empty, it becomes more and more it multiplies and multiplies on the Internet, making it difficult to isolate and absorb something truly important.
I am sure that all drawn attention to the different windows of the picture and with the rapidly changing inscriptions that offer you to buy the latest offerings or laptop anti-crisis price. For most people, it has long been no secret that it is contextual advertising. Many sites use third-party tools that collect and analyze all the data entered by the user of a device on the Internet for any reason. That's why we have to pay attention to all the small stuff, which we have, most likely, not interested.
But now this problem is solved almost completely: with the release of iOS 9 Crystal renewed application of the murphy Apps - sharpened by a new version of the solution OSes to deal with contextual advertising in the Safari browser.
Alpha version of the app has been announced by the developer more 21 July this year. It all started as an experiment, how effective performance for Safari will use functions blocking content that is not directly related to the content of those or other sites (mostly news resources).
"It's really noble," - I thought, Crystal downloading to your iPhone 5s. It remains only to check on what is capable of application in a real battle (manufacturer He promised increase in page load speed and, of course, the screen to get rid of ads).
Let's start with the fact that the oldest version of iOS means internal war to force unwanted content specially created for Safari extensions. One of them is the hero of our today's publication.
Without thinking, I decided to visit a few sites that with sufficient regularity visited before, in the "as before", and then with the participation of Crystal. Includes extensions to the settings menu for Safari, on the tab "Rules for blocking content."
The first step was decided to compare the appearance of the display in the browser page, then pay attention to the speed of loading.
I often use online dictionaries and encyclopedias. The results obtained could not fail to please me.
That's what I saw before and after:
As you can see, the result is obvious. By the way, if something undesirable yet appeared, it is possible to inform the developer using Crystal Report Site features:
No less joy turned Seen ads site (there's usually a lot of all unwanted).
To comply with the severity of the experiment I visited news site, or rather, its mobile version with responsive design. The result does not disappoint:
As you can see, no pictures, and "cuts" on page no more, read everything very convenient as it should be really.
As for speed, I have to say: any complex load tests, we did not carry out, believing in the word of the developers. I rely on your custom experience.
Whenever I reboot one or another page to running Crystal application, it is as if momentarily froze before displayed in all its "bezbannernoy" glory. Yes, I feel a slight delay. Yet the existence of this mikropauzy rightly so.
By the way, I mean "heavy" sites with lots of pictures and buttons. With the "lungs" all generally fine: just - and you're done.
It is time to take stock. Crystal - well made application to "marry" is a Safari browser - it is one minute. But the joy of pure content without advertising unaccustomed enough for at least a week.
Of course, there is no shortage, no and yes slip: in some places may appear indexes of quotations or banners sewn into the site with a view to profit. But it is quite another matter.
Nevertheless his task Crystal handles at least a solid four-plus.
