And lots of website owners will cry tears of joy that they will still have an income. I think its a good thing Apple took it out of the beta.
Clicking on autofill will let you use touch ID and search for the password you want to use.
Numbers in the Clocks application have been updated to the San Francisco typeface.
Night Owl ringtone sounds a bit different than before.
The scrolling in app switcher is much slower.
It's been out for a couple hours. There's no way of knowing if it's resolved.
Remember that this is an early developer preview. Apple very specifically states that you must agree not to use it on your main device and can only install it on a developer device. If you're doing otherwise, it's your own stupid fault.
Install pre-beta software and expect it to act like general release. Derp derp.
Okay, withdrawn.
But, despite Apple's recent software decisions, I don't believe even they are dumb enough to delete users data like this.
I agree. So many don't realize that most of the web runs on ads. There would be no Google, no Mac Rumors, no Facebook, no Twitter, no Reddit, and many more of our favorite sites if ads went away.
We don't want no ads, we just want them not to be obtrusive. If a site you frequent is going overboard with them, let the site know. Blocking them isn't the answer.
I'm fairly certain lots of people want no ads, of any sort, ever.
And those people don't understand how the web works. They may want no ads but they'd be crying when Google, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Mac Rumors and the majority of the web simply went away from lack of revenue.
For beta 1 battery was draining like 20-30% in couple of hours, so you will know, plush there are people who test their apps on beta in real life scenario so saying it's stupid is stupid
So we would go back to a time when people's privacy was respected and people weren't treated like a product. How is this bad?
It's my computer and my internet connection. I should have the power to decide which packets from a website are accepted and which are rejected when I request the website.
Ads are a nuisance that ruin good content and wast valuable bandwidth resources on both ends of the connection. Just because today most websites rely on ad revenue doesn't mean it should forever be this way and the consumer shouldn't have any way to mitigate those negatives immediately.
I presume they simply hide the menu if you have no content blockers installed. They made a pretty big deal out of this and I don't think that they would scrap such a feature like that.
Maybe! Can you post a screenshot? Also, the option not showing up doesn't mean it's been nixed. Features are often removed and re-added across different betas as they're tweaked and updated.
Yes, it is. Content blocking gives power back to the users and brings forth change. Website owners should think more carefully about the rubbish they load from external sources and be more considerate of their users' privacy. MacRumors already loads at least 6 trackers, among which several from Google. Screw Google and others, I don't want to be tracked along all the websites I visit. I don't care about seeing ads, but my privacy is not up for sale and not theirs to take. It used to be different when these extensive tracking schemes were not mainstream. Websites survived that too.
Wow. I haven't heard that argument since the latest 1990s. Not that I, in principle, disagree with you but our side lost the war over a decade ago.
Content blocking is not going to go away, Apple probably is changing something. They had an entire session on content blocking at WWDC, why would they do that if they were planning to get rid of it.
Content blocking is not just for ads, it is also for blocking the trackers, external heavy resources that most people don't need (stupid fancy fonts, cursors, music, videos) and so on.
Blocking Google's font service does not deprive websites of its ad revenue. That's BS.

OMG they used my Hand Off screen shot! That actually made my day a bit!
I am really happy they brought the hand off in multitasking back.
Yes it does store your save data in iCloud backup. It always was like this since first iPhone and iTunes backups. Did you ever tried to restore? More people should know this.
