No ADS at all

Whenever you clicked on a video which contain ads it seems like the internet is slow but at that time it was just blocking the advertisement. This took me few minutes to realise. You can even change APP icon and that is a cool feature. But the tabs are not like Chrome or safari like they are in shape and clearly visible so I want them to fix the Tabs stuff in next updates.
