Today we interview Dean Murphy, creator of the top app on the iOS app store, Crystal, a content blocker for iPhone.  We ask Dean to explain what content blocking is, why the web is so slow:  JavaScript and ads are causing the problem, and advertisers will have to adjust, which we talk about as well.  Finally, we find out how Dean became a self-taught app developer!  The course he recommends is named in the show, so check it out!
Crystal blocks all ads and tracking scripts and basically anything slowing down your phone, and as a result, pages load 4 times faster in Crystal:

Crystal doesn't work on links launched within Facebook (yet), but try the app Disconnect to install a system wide certificate that removes tracking scripts from websites.
