Yea I removed it too, the only thing it would load for me was advertisement banners
 
It actually didn't want to work for me. I ended up turning off many tweaks that I had & it started showing advertisements & nothing else. It would even block some stuff that the iPhone would play normally. I still have it, but it's turned off.
