iPad with jailbreak: no ads in web browser and free apps

[Quotenfrau]

Hi

I am thinking to buy an iPad. For me a killer criteria is completly ad-free browsing and free apps. Is that possible and how exactly? Where are the limitations?

Ad-free browsing is possible if you don't go to websites with ads. Free apps are possible if you don't want any of the pay ones. There's thousands upon thousands of free apps. Unfortunately, there's only two ways to pay for content: ad revenues and actually paying for them yourself. So you're probably going to have a tough time if you refuse to do either.

My question was technical. It was about ad blockers like GlimmerBlocker (http://glimmerblocker.org) for web content.

The second question was if it is possible to block ads in apps.

Useful information:

I have found that on my Iphone I can use the firewall ip(I actually bought it) app to block Ads and I have tried an AD blocker(not sure which) that works with browsers on the iphone.

I know this is a question for an iPad but currently I cannot unlock my iPad2. I think it's safe to say that with my Firewall and Ad blocker I can get them to work in my iPad as well as it works on my iPhone4.

When blocking ADs with the firewall you will need to learn which URL will allow access to the app and which URL is the AD URL. 99.9% of the time the URL will have the word AD in it.

I hope this helps.

Nope and nope.

Besides, you're willing to spend $499 ++ on a shiny piece of kit, but not $0.99 on a killer app? :wtf:

Adblocks: Cydia has some.
Free Apps: Installous (but it is illegal.)

Might want to edit your post. At first blush, it looks like you want free (as in pirated) apps, not free apps with no ads from the app store.

Edit the hosts file to block ads.

The app store has thousands of free apps!
