For a free alternative that allows full customization of content blockers, try out my app, Safari Blocker: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/safari-blocker/id1011678834?...

Safari Blocker is great, thanks Luke! Being able to add rules on the fly is really handy.
Thanks a ton! Lots of great features planned in updates: user whitelisting in Safari, better default blockers, native iPad support, OSX extension. Will continue to be free
Thanks Luke, great app. I like the UI and color-scheme as well, to my eyes it seems inspired by Android 4.1 but with space and color used to delineate UI elements instead of hard borders/buttons.
Another vote here. I've been using Safari Blocker for a couple weeks, and it's transformed sites into being actually enjoyable again. I did have to whitelist one groceries site to be able to log into my account, but that slight hiccup's a tiny matter for me, versus being able to browse without having a dozen advertisers try grabbing at my attention as I'm trying to read some article.
Any chance to include and keep up to date an Eu cookie policy block list ? Here's a good one: https://github.com/r4vi/block-the-eu-cookie-shit-list

I'd add it myself just aren't sure how to keep it updated.

Just uninstalled Crystal and installed your Safari Blocker. Works great so far and has a far larger filtering list (and customizable lists too it seems).

Thanks!

I'm surprised that name made it through App Review. No issues?
