I don’t run ads on this site, in fact I have been woefully inadequate at encouraging more support of the site. 1Blocker includes a powerful custom package builder that allows users more control of their browsing experience You can only create rules on macOS, they will sync to iOS automatically. If you’re happy digging in the inspector, you can build your own custom packages to block anything you want. 1Blocker recently started blocking crypto-mining scripts by default. I’m using the example of comments, but internet annoyances don’t end there.
I have chosen the nuclear option, and not just because it defaults to no comments. Or if you would prefer to work the other way around, you can use 1Blocker’s hide element tool - which works on macOS and iOS - to block elements on a case by case basis. Chances are, if you happen to frequent such a site, you may be amenable to adding it to the whitelist. There are places, albeit very few, where comments are still useful and engaging. This vastly improves efficiency and saves battery life. While most other extensions block content by filtering elements of already downloaded page, 1Blocker uses native blocking technology to tell Safari in advance what should be blocked. Using something like uBlock Origin might give you the same results, but it won’t work on iOS, and it can’t offer the performance of a Webkit content blocker. If you don’t already know, Webkit content blockers work differently to classic ad-blockers. Since installing 1Blocker, the internet hasn’t been nearly as irksome. One way or another I would find myself reading comments, then trying to mitigate the ugly feelings I have about the world thereafter.
You’re guaranteed to find some of the most base, vulgar, and offensive baiting anywhere on the internet in comments sections. It’s not perfect, the mechanics of webkit blocking mean if you block comments, it blocks them everywhere. Out of the box 1Blocker blocks comments on websites. What I didn’t expect when I started using 1Blocker, was an interpretation of internet annoyances that dovetailed with my own. I’m talking about the dumpster fire of opinion found in most comments sections. There is only one content blocker I know of that gives me the kind of control necessary to be considerate, while blocking out elements I’d rather not see. 1 Yet, as the results are still opinionated the blocker decides what will be let through, and that is that. Since the advent of Webkit blocking, projects like Better by ind.ie have tried to work admirably at balancing the blocking of invasive web trackers, and other nefarious practices, with understanding the struggles of independent publishers. No, this is not about tracking, but one of the internet’s other most beguiling annoyances. If you read this site regularly, you have a pretty good idea of where I stand. Take one look at the doublespeak around intelligent tracking protection in Safari and you will get a sense of what is at stake. Let’s face it, these days the internet is cesspool of malware masquerading as legitimate technology.
Beyond the ruckus around content blockers to iOS, you will find plenty of legitimate reasons to employ them.
