How do you disable ads?

You really are clueless aren't you?

Firefox and IE on a PC are not the same as Safari on an iPad or iPhone.

PCs and Macs run full, virtually unlimited, desktop operating systems with much more power and functionality than a mobile operating system. Install the desktop version of Safari on a Mac and you can block adverts just as well as in Firefox and IE on a PC.

But an iPad running Safari on iOS is not the same as a PC running Firefox on Windows.

ALL mobile web browsers are less powerful and have less functionality than their desktop counterparts. This is due to many reasons, but mainly for maintaining high performance, good battery life and avoiding security issues.

You cannot expect a mobile operating system to offer the same functionality and power as a desktop OS. Someone who claims to have been using computers and writing code for so long should know this.

Obamacare? Many people on this planet live outside the good ol' US of A you know.

Where does Apple claim the Safari Popup Blocker will block all popups and adverts? And where does Apple claim to allow third-party ad blockers in Safari on iOS? Nowhere, that's where.

Thank you for conceding that I'm RIGHT... Apple can't handle it.... Case closed!

Hurry up now mommy is calling you for your cheerios, then she'll help you sign up for ObamaCare!

Ha ha! Are you really 60 years old? This is more like conversing with a spoilt, entitled child!

Don't engage him any further. There's no point. He's determined to be angry and to insult anyone who tries to discuss the issue rationally. Insults aren't likely to help. Just ignore him.

In case there is anyone out there who is actually looking for a solution to the original thread read this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6044511.

It solved the problems I was having.

ps - everyone else who added to this discussion needs to get a life!

Nothing in that link applies to Safari on an iPad. Its meant for Safari on a Desktop or Laptop computer which is completely different, and applies to the removal of a trojan whch you cannot get on an iPad.

Why are you reviving a 4 month old thread? Is this an April Fools joke?
