    Safari is a really small percentage of desktop browsers. HTML5 ads will be even worse than Flash ads (we're basically going back to all of the issues we had with Flash when it first started). And, Safari doesn't have an ad-blocker specifically, it's sandboxing plugins. So you'll get HTML5 ads. Same shit, different technology, except now you'll have animated ads on your iDevice that weren't there before since Flash doesn't work on the iDevice but HTML5 does. Perhaps Apple is trying to get companies to buy into their ecosystem through ads. And just in case you weren't aware of how Google makes almost ALL of their loot, it's ads. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple went in that direction.
