Adblock Plus, the most popular ad blocker on Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Android and iOS. Block pop-ups and annoying ads on websites like Facebook and YouTube.

Conrad, desktop adblock is rowing 40% YoY with no signs of slowing down.

Though I'm a big fan of the regular Adblock browser extension I'm pretty sure I won't be using Adblock Plus. Safari on the iPhone has all the cool stuff that makes it a pleasure to use. So I'm looking forward to use Crystal https://www.producthunt.com/tech... , which basically is an extension to iOS Safari - much like Adblock on the desktop.

@t55 Now if Adblock Plus would make their own version like Crystal. I guess this is just the beginning.

@esbvn Well, errr, they just did! https://www.producthunt.com/tech...

Very curious to see how this compares with the iOS 9 Safari Content Blocking feature...

@chrismessina Pre-emptive strike I suppose? When iOS9 drops, 3rd party content blockers will have a brief struggle, and then the winners will go on to become a household name most likely. At which point, they'd be in a position to go "back to the Mac" as it were by having the mindshare about a previously niche product. Could become a competitive problem eventually for the current browser-based adblock brands (that is, supposing they're not the winners in the iOS9 3rd party content blocker bonanza).
