Show HN: Antelope, free iOS adblocker

Hey, project creator here -- been working on this with some friends as a side project. It's a free, open-source adblocker, and it's based on EasyList / EasyPrivacy. It doesn't have 'acceptable ads.'

Hoping to add user-controlled whitelisting soon. Would love feedback on app design / setup flow / any constructive thoughts!

Cool! Anything that makes it different from http://adblockfast.com ?

It's a different block list -- they wrote their own, this one is based on open-source Easylist / Easyprivacy.

I'm honestly not sure which blocklist is better between mine and Adblock Fast's. If you have feedback, would love to hear.

On step 4 of the intro, it says "Click content blockers," when it should say "tap content blockers."

easy and simple! good job.

suggestion: you could add a identificator for blocklist version, in case you plan to introduce updates outside the app store. (like crystal)
