From the Safari page:- "Safari Reader removes annoying ads and other visual distractions from online articles."
AFAIK, in other browsers, extensions are required to block ads. Safari is the first major browser to have adblocking as a prominent built-in feature. I wonder if other browsers will follow and what impact will that have on Google's bottom line if adblocking becomes mainstream.

Carol should put her profile at an online dating site.
Its easier for men to "chat her up" online (Option 1); and not feel too bad when Carol rejects their move (Option 3). Essentially, Option 2 becomes a non-option and Carol would have more men approaching her and to choose from.
Anecdotal: I saw this girl online. I considered her "out of my league". But what the heck, I picked Option 1. Now we are engaged. If I had seen her in the real world, I would have picked Option 2.
