Not ready for prime time
VirtualPanther

The intentions of helping users to clean up their browsing landscape are very noble. Having said that, this browser is far from achieving that goal with style. The interface is very primitive, s are the settings. There is no way for the user to unblock anything, or add a domain to be blocked. What you have in its pre-determined configuration is set in stone. No changes to ad-blocking lists. You may white-list some domain, but as I said, there is no ability to ad an unblocked advertisement to the block list. The GUI has a very alpha feel to it: response is sluggish, browsing is slow, setting my home page required multiple tries before it finally stuck. Even closing the explanation pop-op over one of settings required me to flip my iPad out of landscape mode, otherwise I could not see or get to the red X on top. Given how slowly it works and how few ads get blocked, the app is not recommended at this stage of development.

Great!

Actually blocked every popup! Awesome! I'm speechless :P

Clean, minimalist view - yet full featured surf

I never realized how much unwanted junk I was allowing in my browsing. Sure, I thought, I don't read the stuff, but then the thought crossed my mind that the extra crud just poluted my browsing with unwanted content, plus I was subliminaly digesting it. Then I tried AdBlock and was blown away by the experience. Neat, uncluttered pages. My browse no longer looked like Times Square at night. Highly recommend it!

Needs a bookmarks menu

Seriously?! Why doesn't this app have a bookmarks menu or even access my safari bookmarks? If it's there, could it be more easily found b/c I'm not seeing it and I'm horrible at trying to remember URLs. It also seriously needs tabbed browsing. It sucked so badly that I removed it from my iPhone 4 and have gone back to using safari.

Very great beginning

This app is lovely on iphone specific websites that like to flood the ads like iphoneanime.net etc... but it still have some things to add. like bookmark, customization, personalization and more. also when you play a video it says sonething the beginning looking very alpha stage. i will continue to use this app and put it to good use. all it needs are touch ups. everything else perfect

Give your $0.99 to a homeless person

This app is useless. No bookmarks, no ability to re-set the home page. Yes, it will browse the web, if you care to type URLs. Total crap. Buy a homeless dude a cup of coffee - you'll get more bang for your buck.
