\"AdBlocker<\/a>(Mar. 29, 2019) I was annoyed having recent online purchases and product viewing activity result in stalking-like targeted advertising while surfing the web.<\/p>\n

I typically use Google Chrome on a 2019 iPad and have grown increasingly discussed by the targeted advertising layered on every page I viewed. Tantamount to stalking like behavior.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Frustrated, I quickly searched the Apple store and found a reasonably interesting prospective app called AdBlocker Ultimate.<\/p>\n

After downloading and installing it, I followed the instructions to enable it.<\/p>\n

I would soon realize, however, there would be no options to enable the App to work with Google Chrome, my preferred iPad browser app.<\/p>\n

Well that sucked. <\/p>\n

Continuing on. After enabling the app, I reluctantly opened Safari to see how AdBlocker Ultimate worked. Well, it actually did work. Only in Safar, however.\"AdBlocker<\/a><\/p>\n

Interestly, it seemed to block the adds I have grown to hate. Instead of the adds, white  space is shown. Better than nothing for now.<\/p>\n

Wanting the app to work in Chrome, I scrolled down into the App configuration area and clicked on the Google Chrome app icon.<\/p>\n

\"AdBlocker<\/a>There, however, were no settings to enable AdBlocker Ultimate in Chrome.<\/p>\n

Looking at this app\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s description in the Apple Apps store, I discovered there was no language describing which browsers it works with. This was an indirect confirmation to me that AdBlocker Ultimate was not as diversified as I thought to potentially be that one-stop add-blocker for all my iPad browsing.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>Apps normally highlight key functionality in their descriptions for marketing purposes. AdBlocker Ultimate did not. In fact, there is no mention of any browser compatibility mentioned in the description.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Unless otherwise determined, this app appears designed to work with Apple safari and does not integrate with the Google Chrome browser App on an iPad.<\/div>\n
