[...] It is also unfortunate that Apples QA for software and hardware have been slipping over the years. A bitter sweet pill.
With this statement, I fully agree. This is not the Apple that attracted me to Apple products. These are not the products that I found to be brilliantly superior to the alternatives. They're merely the least bad today.

[doublepost=1537369977][/doublepost]That is what happens when SJW Apple spends more time on social matters and building a ridiculously expensive HQ.
This is an extremely uninformed viewpoint. Firstly, why are you against social justice? Secondly, the development employees at Apple have nothing to do with the PR and political activities promoted by Apple upper management. Apple upper management aren't doing development. They give orders to department heads. I can almost guarantee you that upper management is not giving social justice activities to them in place of work that would generate revenue.
You should consider why you're so polarized against social justice and why you feel the need to make a scapegoat of it for your arguments against Apple's product quality slippage. While I fully agree with the observed loss in Q/A and design skill (Apple's GUI design ideology has been abysmal since 2013's releases), social justice activism has absolutely NOTHING to do with it.

So who is this brainiac at Apple that came up with this complete eyesore on the widget screen of iOS 12? I don't know about anyone else, but the light blue and red colored text overlaying that shade of gray hurts the eyes and is plain hard to see. Not to mention the ridiculous little "Set up Screen Time in Setting" splash that occurs right over the top of everything when you first swipe over to the widgets screen. Wow is all I can really say. How does stuff like this slip through final approval?

Wow. This is awful. I can't wait to see it on my own device :-/
I don't see how this gets past Q/A except to realize that Apple's Q/A is not remotely as detail oriented (or competent) as they used to be.
Apple's color and text choices have been awful since 2013's product overhauls, but this looks worse: this is also bad layout.

you just need 1. adguard.
I think you misunderstand what I was commenting about. Ad blocking requires filtering rules in order to function. This is different from plugins. True you may only need one ad blocking extension, but that plugin needs to be able to utilize hundreds, maybe thousands of filtering rules. Apple's content blocking API has a low limit. I don't know the number off the top of my head, but it's lower than the number of rules I was using on my blocker extensions when they weren't using the content blocking API provided by Apple.
