Bought Adblock; It’s Worth It

So, I decided to buy Adblock. For those of you that don’t know, Adblock is, well, just like Adblock Plus for Firefox (FYI, I use Google Chrome with Privoxy), but Adblock is for iPhone’s Safari. It blocks ads in Safari. And, it’s a jaolbroken only app… yet another one of our perks.

Well I broke down and decided to buy it, via Paypal, for $3.23. Some people that know me would say this is the first and only app I’ve ever paid for, and the only reason I paid for it was because I couldn’t find it online to steal… but that of course would be a no-no.

So do I think it’s worth it? Oh heck yeah. Blocking ads is one of the most guilty-pleasures of browsing online. Going to a news article web site where they think they’re slick **** by polluting the screen garbage advertising… and seein’ none of it. Oh yeah… so nice. And let’s not forget how ads make loading pages much slower too.

Now that I’ve got it, browsing’s so nice. I’ve been usin’ ad blocking software before most people, and since then haven’t gone without ad blocking software. Since getting the NeoCell, I’ve been doin’ most of my browsing from the NeoCell so seein’ all this digital garbage all over the screen’s been a big deal to me. Gettin’ Adblock made browsing the net feel more like browsing from my desktop or laptop.

One thing I don’t like is the price though… it really should be free. Kinda’ ****** up that we’re paying someone money to not display ads. Ads are the way web sites make money off you, and I do think it’s messed up another comany, no better than them, is making money by offering ad blocking software.

I hope one of two things happen. Either someone creates a free ad blocking program, or that someone cracks this program and spreads it online so that people won’t have to throw their money away like I have.

But… until that happens, if your going to spend the money, is Adblock worth it? Oh heck ya.

Peace, J
