How does this compare to Crystal? They have so many coming out right now, wondering which one is the best. http://www.producthunt.com/tech/...

@esbvn Just uploaded a quick non-scientific speed test and Peace seems to be the smartest solution: https://youtu.be/Ft1imEG9Moo?t=3...

@sandersaar Thank you sir
Sean Wiese
@esbvn I would say it compares great to Crystal now: http://www.marco.org/2015/09/18/...

I haven't had a chance to use 'Peace' yet, but it’s powered by Ghostery, Ghostery is still owned by a company (Evidon) that collects and sells data to advertisers.
David Catley
@brandonjgeo Albeit not in quite the same way as some of its peers - the developer of peace puts it as: "Ghostery’s business model is often misunderstood. The gist of it: their browser plugin has an opt-in feature, off by default, to send Ghostery anonymous data about which third-party scripts get loaded on the pages people visit. This helps them find new trackers to block, and they offer a business version of Ghostery that big sites use to figure out which trackers people see on their sites. Third-party ad networks and analytics are so common, and their standards for embedded ads are so unenforceable (since they’re letting third parties execute arbitrary code), that web publishers need someone else — Ghostery — to tell them what’s being served on their own sites and what problems it might be causing for their visitors or potential customers."

24 hours after it was released and becoming #1 paid app, Marco pulled it from the appstore: http://www.marco.org/2015/09/18/...

Marco: "Peace required that all ads be treated the same — all-or-nothing enforcement for decisions that aren’t black and white. This approach is too blunt, and Ghostery and I have both decided that it doesn’t serve our goals or beliefs well enough. If we’re going to effect positive change overall, a more nuanced, complex approach is required than what I can bring in a simple iOS app."

After installing I can't access to some websites for instance designmodo website doesn't open at all.

@edoam Two solutions: a) For a quick fix, long-tap the refresh icon, then select "Reload Without Content Blockers". b) For a more permanent solution, you can whitelist any websites that break within Peace's settings.

Wow. Just tested on iPhone 6 Plus. In my brief and informal test, this seriously speeds up browsing so much. Impressive.

@alexputici upgrading to iOS 9.. this is the first app I'm going to download!

@goelv good choice! Loving iOS 9
Ouriel Ohayon
does it block ads in apps too?
Varun Goel
@ourielohayon it should not block ads in apps..
Ouriel Ohayon
@eelcojellema correct. If using the old Web views blockers are inefficient.
Arush
Does this block non harmful tracking like Segment's analytics.js?
