When was the last time you tried Opera? Disclosure: I am biased but not affiliated. I really enjoy Opera and have for years. It gets the good features long before the other major browsers. Opera actually has a decent share of the market now and, for whatever reason, they just bought a VPN service if what someone told me is true. Lemme Google...

Yup. They bought SurfEasy.

They are a pretty decent company and treat your data with respect. I am not sure what sort of legitimate complaints you can make about them but I am willing to listen.

"which blocks more ads? Answer: uBlock/Adblock" by andymadigan (792996) on Sunday June 14, 2015 @12:04AM (#49907001)

UBlock/Adblock = far less efficient on CPU & RAM (added messagepassing, SLOW usermode vs. hosts in kernelmode) & NEITHER does a fraction of what hosts do in more speed, security, reliability, & anonymity.

Can adblock do 16 things hosts do for speed, security, & reliability:

1.) Protect vs. malicious sites/servers (beyond malicious ads: See 2-10 next)
2.) Protect vs. fastflux botnets + stop communication to C&C servers
3.) Protect vs. dynamic dns botnets + stop communication to C&C servers
4.) Protect vs. DGA botnets + stop communication to C&C servers
5.) Protect vs. downed DNS (adds reliability)
6.) Protect vs. DNS redirect poisoned dns
7.) Protect vs. trackers
8.) Protect vs. spam
9.) Protect vs. phishing
10.) Protect vs. bandwidth caps
11.) Get you past a dnsbl
12.) Keep you off dns request logs
13.) Speed up websurfing by adblocks & hardcoded fav. sites
14.) Work on ANY webbound app (think stand-alone email programs) multiplatform.

"I'm more than happy to spend an extra 1% of my computer's power to block far more ads than your shitty idea" by andymadigan (792996) on Sunday June 14, 2015 @12:04AM (#49907001)

So you're 'happy' being illogical & stupid?

ClarityRay defeats it & NOT hosts (clarityray DETECTS + BLOCKS addons via native browser methods).

P.S.=> Quote Howard Stark from "Captain America" - hosts (Captain America Shield) vs. AdBlock & variants (steel):

Can adblock do 16 things hosts do for speed, security, & reliability:

1.) Protect vs. malicious sites/servers (beyond malicious ads: See 2-10 next)
2.) Protect vs. fastflux botnets + stop communication to C&C servers
3.) Protect vs. dynamic dns botnets + stop communication to C&C servers
4.) Protect vs. DGA botnets + stop communication to C&C servers
5.) Protect vs. downed DNS (adds reliability)
6.) Protect vs. DNS redirect poisoned dns
7.) Protect vs. trackers
8.) Protect vs. spam
9.) Protect vs. phishing
10.) Protect vs. bandwidth caps
11.) Get you past a dnsbl
12.) Keep you off dns request logs
13.) Speed up websurfing by adblocks & hardcoded fav. sites
14.) Work on ANY webbound app (think stand-alone email programs) multiplatform.
15.) Give you easily texteditor controlled data for the above
16.) Do all that & block ads (better than addons) more efficiently in cpu cycles + memory usage

* ANSWER ="NO" to each above on AdBlock doing it as well or at all!

APK

P.S.=> AdBlock does FAR less than hosts do & FAR less efficiently - hosts do MORE w/ less + Hosts start w/ the IP stack before REDUNDANT inefficient addons BEGIN to operate (as 1st resolver queried):

AdBlock's 4++gb & 100% CPU usage flooring inefficiency -> https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... + ClarityRay defeats it + it 'souled-out' & is crippled by default paid off to not do its job http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/... & ABP too http://finance.yahoo.com/news/...

Does now every article need a link to dice?
Isn't that somewhat to much of advertisement?

Not every article sends a link to Dice. Just one. Every day.

"But slashdot will maintain its editorial independence, we swear!"

See subject: by native browser methods dumping addons used + AdBlock = slower, inferior + 'souled-out'!

Can adblock do 16 things hosts do for speed, security, & reliability:

1.) Protect vs. malicious sites (beyond ads)
2.) Protect vs. fastflux botnets + stop communique to C&C
3.) Protect vs. dynamic dns botnets + stop communique to C&C
4.) Protect vs. DGA botnets + communique to C&C
5.) Protect vs. downed DNS (adds reliability)
6.) Protect vs. DNS redirect poisoned dns
7.) Protect vs. trackers
8.) Protect vs. spam
9.) Protect vs. phish
10.) Protect vs. caps
11.) Get past a dnsbl
12.) Keep you off dns request logs
13.) Speed up surfing by adblocks & hardcoded fav. sites
14.) Work on ANYTHING webbound (i.e. standalone email programs) multiplatform.
15.) Give you easily controlled data
16.) Do all that & block ads (better than addons) more efficiently in cpu cycles + memory usage

* ANSWER ="NO" to each on AdBlock doing it as well or @ all + hosts = already on every device natively.

1) They hold the public keys. But the risk isn't them decrypting with your private key, it's them adding their own public key (or one they generate) to your list of keys without your knowledge. Apple could send your public iPhone key, your public Ipad key, and their own generated snopping public key to the sending device, and no one would be the wiser. You can read about it here: http://techcrunch.com/2014/02/...

2) There's a setting to turn off "Send as SMS," but under some circumstance, it might not honor that setting. For example, if you're texting someone who's not using an iPhone. Ideally, a user should have more strict control.

As I said, default iMessage encryption is good, in that it guards against mass surveillance in most cases, but there's certainly room for improvement.

ClarityRay defeats it - it can't do that to hosts (since clarityray dumps what browser addons you use so addons are EASILY DETECTED via native browser methods & YOU'RE BLOCKED STUPID).

AdBlock adds complexity/room for breakdown/exploit + from a slower mode of operations (usermode = more messagepassing overheads vs. hosts in kernelmode).

You're missing the point. Market share doesn't matter: money does. Android has all the market share, and Apple makes all the money. Almost 90% of the money is in the Apple ecosystem, so THAT is where developers develop first. Android is an also-ran if they get around to it.

Paid to not block ALL ads http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/...

&

ABP too http://finance.yahoo.com/news/...

AND

ClarityRay defeats it also (adblock, being a mere inefficient browser addon IS also easily detected for & blocked by NATIVE BROWSER METHODS sites can leverage to dump them out for them & to TELL THEM TO BLOCK YOU OUT instead of them blocking ads, stupid!) - they CANNOT do THAT, to hosts that way, period.

Bribery Andy - you trust THAT shitbox AdBlock & its variants after that?

APK

P.S.=> AndyMadigan: You truly ARE too stupid to live, OR, you're a PAID SHILL for "Almost ALL Ads Blocked" (guess all that GOOGLE + AMAZON BRIBE MONEY GOES A LONG WAYS THERE, eh Andy? LOL!)... apk

Adblock does less & consumes more = "better", Andy? http://apple.slashdot.org/comm... & THAT is why you "RAN" vs. that, Forrest!

Fact:

You can't even BEGIN to combat the facts there in favor of hosts files over "Almost ALL Ads Blocked" or its variants on TONS of levels in efficiency, speed, & abilities!

PLUS?

Later - I utterly SCORCHED your adblock PAID SHILL ASS on memory consumption too -> http://apple.slashdot.org/comm...

AND

THEN even MORE here too later -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p...

After that LAST link?

Tell us WHAT BLOCKS MORE ADS, Andy "ole' boy"? Ok?? Good luck... & learn to read: My earlier posts contain the data shown below on THAT note also!

APK

P.S.=> Your "solution" in AdBlock is PAID OFF BY GOOGLE & OTHERS TO NOT BLOCK ALL ADS BY DEFAULT, stupid:

AdBlock & ABP = crippled by default paid off to not do its job http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/... & ABP too http://finance.yahoo.com/news/...

You UNBELIEVABLE obviously PAID SHILL for that shitbox of a program "Almost ALL Ads Blocked" or its fellow shitbox inefficient variants like ABP or UBlock...

UFail is more like it after the above, lol... badly! apk
