That's fantastic. ibtimes really shows how over the top and obnoxious advertising has become on mobile. Mobile GAF is probably the only site I visit that doesn't take the piss.

Mobile GAF is fine except for constantly being redirected to the App store.

if anything, with photos and icloud and apple music and tim cooke books or whatever, they have less of a need to drop the 16gb now more than ever.
Thank you based Tim Cook.iOS 9 supports file upload using iCloud Drive and third-party apps:
Why wouldn't they allow this? That is the whole point of content blockers. Google must not be happy about it though.Apple's not really talking about it too much. Hopefully they'll definitely allow things like this.
I'd like I be able to export message threads or import them. Also show the space they use up in iTunes instead of lumping them with other.RE: Space
The thing that would help the 16 gig problem the most would be better space management for Messages.

Ah. Mine only take like 65MB. I always like to save and archive photos and delete them from the messages portion when I can.You can check on your phone how much space your messages are taking up. Mine currently take 663 MB.

I didn't say camera roll. I save them to the roll then immediately upload them to Dropbox. Then I later do whatever I need to with them. Or I just save them to the roll and move them out of Photos when I get home. Either way if it's important I keep it anywhere but the messages.In theory that's a good idea but there are some pictures in my messages that I don't want showing up in my camera roll.
Well they added the delete old messages setting (after 30 days, 1 year...could stand to have more granular settings), and the details view makes it easier to delete/save images selectively...course that could stand to use a multi select. Some type of archive/export would be nice of course.RE: Space

Yeah the new feature is content blocking, not some other feature being used by a tricky dev for blocking, this is exactly what it's meant for. And it's only for Safari (and perhaps the new web view thing for other apps), it doesn't affect iAds and other in app advertising.Why wouldn't they allow this? That is the whole point of content blockers. Google must not be happy about it though.
If anyone wants an example of PiP in iOS 9, in a background tab, I have The Daily Show Month of Zen stream playing, and when you hit PiP for it, you can open a new tab, which is what I have open that is allowing me to compose this post. So, you can have video from different tabs PiP play in other tabs. Kind of neat!

Is the PiP video reactive in any way? For example, does the video lower in opacity if you're scrolling on the current window?

This is amazing. I love how the sites showed just how shitty mobile ads are with the big popup and then those banner ones getting stuck in the middle of the page. This might be the best feature of iOS9 for me. Good on Apple for allowing this to finally be allowed.
The most annoying thing about App Store redirects is that they have an in app sheet functionality that, while still annoying, is meant to make that shit much less annoying (the App Store page pops up kinda like a mail compose sheet). They just haven't bothered using it for their own apps.Biggest thing for me will be squelching the App Store redirects that plague a lot of the webcomics I visit.
Well, here's an example:
- I want to keep every text message my wife has sent me
- I want to selectively keep images and videos she's sent me. If it's a video of a dog or a picture from the grocery store or something dumb I want to delete it
- When I delete something from my attachments, I want that to synchronize across my devices. I shouldn't need to also delete the attachments on my computer, for example.
- I want to be able to sort attachments by size for any conversation to make it easier to clear the worst cruft
- I want to be able to export everything, naturally.
- I don't really care about images or videos anyone else has sent me. I don't really care about any text they sent me older than, say, 2 weeks, but it'd be nice to keep the last, say, 5-10 messages exchanged beyond that period just for context (and sometimes to remember who the person in question actually is)
This kind of stuff feels like it would be pretty standard functionality in any third party messaging program, because when you make a messaging program it's important for it to not suck at messaging.

Also, can anyone with a fusion drive post an image of disk utility showing their drives/layout? Mine looks like a mess, and I don't know if my drive is failing (I've had nothing but problems with fusion drive and wish I never did it back when it was brand new).
Uh, why wouldn't you just back everything up, reformat both drives as separate partitions and then restore less crucial stuff on the HDD?
(Custom) Fusion drives are a bag of hurt, particularly when things go wrong. If you're not already doing regular backups from it, you're living life on the bleeding edge and I won't pity you if things go wrong.
It's happening isn't it?

Just giving you a heads up on not being dumb before you lose all your shit dude. Custom Fusion drives have way too many negatives for very few positives.Never mind. not worth responding to.
That'd probably be the Apple-est way of doing it, and theyre all in the device iCloud backups to begin with, granted in some encrypted format.The message deletion is a stop gap fix, not a solution. I also hate losing old images and conversations.
My solution: Store images and videos in iCloud after it reaches a certain size or after a number of days. Only load them on demand.
And theyre not always fusion drives. There's some weird magic that auto chooses between making a fusion drive vs some more basic core storage spanned volume that works similarly but not entirely the same.Just giving you a heads up on not being dumb before you lose all your shit dude. Custom Fusion drives have way too many negatives for very few positives.
Someone created a prototype ad blocker and tested it on iMore. Loading time dropped from 11 seconds to 2 seconds. Tsk tsk.

Meanwhile advertisers are probably thinking of ways to force us into ads that'd work around ad blocking. Like forcing you to use whatever site's app where there's no blocking.I, for one, welcome the web finding something less crappy than banner ads
