Our Reading

The update arrives with confidence.

The app now blocks ads within apps, because that’s something users have been asking for only since the dawn of mobile apps. The feature relies on Apple’s latest software, which is just a coincidence and not a cleverly timed move at all. This is not the same as the ad blocking features we’ve had before. Nope. The app’s developers are thrilled, and users are surely not wondering what took so long.

Because what’s an ad blocker if it can’t block ads everywhere, right?
