Here’s a simple test you can run to see how well your content blocker handles ad-versity (sorry!).

Best to do this while you are on WiFi, otherwise this will consume your data plan. Here’s the sequence:

• Turn off all content blockers (Settings > Safari > Content Blockers)
• Go to http://nypost.com. Scroll from top to bottom, get a sense of the ads you encounter, how long it takes to load the page initially and where the lags are as you scroll all the way to the bottom.
• Close that page.
• Go to http://www.vox.com/2015/9/17/9345665/gop-debate-cnn-guide. Do the same thing. Pay special attention to the large ads that divide the article into sections (there’s one above the Carly Florina photo, for example) and how long the various elements take to load as they scroll into view. Scroll all the way to the bottom and note all the elements you encounter.
• Close that page, too.
• Now enable your favorite content blocker and repeat for both pages. See what makes it through, and how long the various elements take to load. For example, is there a hitch when an ad placement goes by? Do photos cause a stutter?

If nothing else, this test will give you a sense of just how much work your content blocker is doing on your behalf.

One more thing, take another look through the list of content blockers we posted a few days ago. It’s been updated and, more importantly, more content blockers have made it through the review process and are now live.
