All other platforms allow users to block ads and other malware on its platform. iOS is the only one that is actively anti-hacker. That's the difference.



Im using adblockers on iOS and am getting quite a decent experience.


>iOS is the only one that is actively anti-hacker

anti-hacker? I think on the hierarchical scale of hackers, people who download and deploy adblockers should be rated "script kiddy" :)


I'm using "hacker" to refer to its original, broader meaning as a term, not the meaning pop media uses. Similar to the way how this site "Hacker News" is for all kinds of "hackers" in general, not just infosec crackers.


What proportion of hackers above the "script kiddies" level do you think don't actively block ads?
