Well, updated my copy that I use for testing things, and it all seems very unintuitive (the new stuff that is). The reader stuff just didn't seem to do anything except show the history page. Maybe I'm being dumb, but... Back to firefox and chrome I think!
and yet they're introducing iAds? :confused:Quote:
At the heart of the new introductions is Safari Reader, an added feature that allows users to view and read articles without what Apple calls "annoying ads and other visual distractions".
They did this quietly didn't they? Surprised it wasn't announced at WWDC.
Leaving aside the confused message: no adds for web browser but iAds for mobiles (which use Safari as a browser) the Safari idea of removing "annoying clutter" is a truly awful idea.
There are already websites that refuse to load if you are using adblock type plug ins. Those websites will quickly be unavailable either to all because they have gone bust or to anyone using Safari. As a committed Firefox user (with odd trips to Opera and Chrome) I do not use adlock plug in deliberately - if a website is too cluttered with ads and not enough content I simply stop looking at it, there will be plenty of other websites.
