Want to block ads on your Mac, iPhone, or iPad? wBlock is quickly becoming my favorite solution: it's free, open source, fast, and customizable. Ad blocking is in a weird place. Google, the company that makes more money from advertising than any other on Earth, is actively working to make ad blockers worse on Chrome while it also makes it harder to block ads on YouTube . Basically, it's a good time to not use Chrome. So it's nice that Apple users have another choice: Safari. And, as luck would have it, Safari has an extremely efficient API for ad blocking built right in. The ad blocker wBlock uses this, and the result is ads are blocked in a way that doesn't slow down your browsing. I wrote a few months ago about uBlock Origin for Safari , which doesn't use Apple's native blocking feature. I enjoyed how effective that application was at blocking ads, but over time I've found it does impact the performance of my browser a little. After setting up wBlock,...

Now, they've initiated proceedings against four more companies—the makers of the Samsung Galaxy Ring , Reebok Smart Ring , Amazfit Helio Ring , and the Luna Ring . Oura announced on their website that they have filed an ITC complaint against those four companies. The ITC is the U.S. International Trade Commission, and Oura says its complaint is "for the unlawful importation and sale of products that infringe on several of Oura’s patents." Oura's previous win against Ultrahuman and RingConn resulted in a judgment that those companies had to stop selling and importing their smart rings. RingConn ultimately came to an agreement with Oura to license their patents and continue selling their rings. Circular and Omate have made similar agreements with Oura. Ultrahuman no longer sells their ring in the U.S. , but is working ...

Apple dropped iOS 26.1 on Nov. 3 , introducing some small but meaningful changes to iPhones. But after changing how alarms work , and adding options to adjust the look of Liquid Glass , the company is back at it with another update: iOS 26.2 . To be clear, iOS 26.2 is not currently available to the public. Instead, Apple is now beta testing this version of iOS, allowing developers and public testers to trial the software against their apps, and report any and all issues back to Apple. If you want to try out 26.2 for yourself, you can, but just understand the risks involved: Beta software is unfinished, so expect bugs and glitches that wouldn't normally be present in the official updates. If you do need to uninstall the beta for any reason, you'll need to factory reset your iPhone, unless you fully backed up your device to your Mac or PC. As such, make sure your data is secure before installing 26.2. As to be expected, iOS 26.2 doesn't appear to be a major update. Apple cl...
