    Ka-Block!

    Ka-Block!

    Ka-Block! is a content blocker for Safari that prevents ads and tracking scripts from slowing down web pages you visit. Many sites use third-party scripts to track your behavior across the web, causing pages to load slowly and draining your phone’s battery. Blocking these scripts dramatically improves page load time, data usage, and battery life. Many sites use third-party scripts to track your behavior across the web. This requires an enormous number of requests, which drain your phone’s battery. Advertisements are not optimized for the mobile web. They consume a huge amount of bandwidth, causing pages to load slowly. The extension makes a network connection, downloads the list again, and stores it in memory. Some ad blocker extensions take this opportunity to store unique information about us on their servers. Sites visited, links clicked, type of browser, and operating system information can all be stored on their server to build a profile of each user.

    Ad And Stuff Blocker

    Ad And Stuff Blocker

    Ad And Stuff Blocker

    Ad And Stuff Blocker (AASB) is an ad and other stuff content blocker specifically for Safari on Mac OSX and iOS. Its goal is to provide the best "out of the box" experience. There are no fancy statistics or fancy UI - just a simple UI to whitelist websites, which hopefully you won't need. AASB for Safari on iOS provides a comparable experience. Ad And Stuff VPN Content Filter (AASVPN) for Android uses the VPN feature to optionally block ads and porn in all apps, not just web browsers. Think of it as a way to have your own hosts file for Android. To do this, it intercepts DNS (how names like google.com have translated to IP addresses) requests only. If the request is for a domain in the hosts database, then returns an Unknown reply to the calling app. Otherwise, it forwards the request to the DNS server, which is OpenDNS for the time being, but can be changed in the preferences.

Transmit also takes great care to let you organize your Servers for fast access. And with Panic Sync, you can sync them to all of your computers. Never type a server address again.

    Lifespan

    Lifespan

    Micromat

    Lifespan is intended to address the ever-increasing use and reliance on flash-based storage. If you require the most out of your solid-state drives or other flash-based storage devices, you can benefit from knowing how much useful life is remaining on those drives. Flash-based storage devices have a finite life, and when they exceed this lifespan, their performance can begin to degrade, or they can stop working entirely. It can be extremely valuable to be aware of the available life remaining, particularly in scenarios where these devices are used vigorously. Most flash-based storage devices store your data on non-volatile NAND solid-state memory. Each cell of this flash memory can only be ‘programmed and erased’ a limited number of times. Drives can have fewer than 2,000 or over 10,000 of this program erase cycles or p/e cycles, depending on the type and quality of the NAND chips used. For a middle-of-the-road solid-state drive, this translates into about 100 TB of useful life.
