@DanFrakes Do you have a link I can use to share this?
iOS Safari testing: 2hrs of scripted browsing=18% battery drain. With ad blocker enabled=9%. Ads make Safari use 2x the juice.

@DanFrakes I think posting the name of the Ad Blocker app used in your testing is only fair. (And not just bc we all want to know.) -
@NdnaJnz Just posted: 1Blocker, blocking only ads.

@DanFrakes suggested add blockers? -
@timgauthier I like 1Blocker and Adamant on iOS, but plenty of good ones available.

@danfrakes Javascript is a major offender too. One of my old MacBooks is totally useless for browsing with JS turned on. -
@matiasblog Yeah, and so many sites require JS to function correctly. -
.
@danfrakes Yeah, I think we need a Javascript Lite -- just enough JS for most web sites to work (with the bloat cut out).

@DanFrakes@wirecutter worth bearing in mind that as blockers often just stop sites loading / working. A dealbreaker for me -
@misctape@wirecutter Occasionally. FWIW, we’ve had good luck overall, though. -
@DanFrakes@wirecutter good to hear. You’re doing a good job and it’s appreciated
