Prevent new tab pop-ups in mobile Safari with TabBlocker

I browse the web somewhat frequently on my iPhone and iPad, and while I love the mobile web-browsing experience, I don’t much appreciate it when I’m suddenly jolted to a new Safari tab by way of unwanted ads and pop-ups.

Citing the announcement, the aforementioned merger was a project seven months in the making and represents an entirely new direction for both repositories as they unite into one and improve consumer services for the greater good.
