Apple has also announced a new feature on the mobile version of Apple's Safari browser. The new update allows users to block ads from popping up. This will ensure more privacy for the users, while on the other hand facilitates faster and smoother browsing without interruption. On the other hand, it ensures there is no irrational use of personal information by web based advertisements, such as bank details, personal living address, and phone numbers amongst other important information.
