    Good riddance to you and your toy phone. Come back when you grow up. Or are you just a troll that is being willfully obtuse?

    Much (if not all) of the app functionality will be built-in to Safari now. Besides, most of the ad blockers are scams, receiving kickbacks from advertisers that wish to be white listed.

    Setting your unwarranted insult aside, it's equally as much about privacy as it is about sanity and calm. The content blocking in Safari is just that -- it's for Safari only. It won't allow me to control what various apps on my phone are doing, such as a calculator app or alarm clock app sending/receiving data from the internet when it has no business to, or apps that have trackers or other means of trying to monetize my usage. So pardon me, I'd like to think my disgust is rather justified.

    Hooooooly crap am I glad to have read this article. I was just about to make a very expensive mistake. Was about to retire my Galaxy S5 and jump ship to an iPhone. Not anymore.

    You'll have an easier time prying away a gun from a young Charlton Heston than foisting an un-adblockable device upon me. I'd rather suffer the throes of internet withdraw than put up with a toxic cesspool of distraction engineered, attention hijacking, consciousness derailing, apoplecticly infuriating internet advertising. HELL. NO.
