So, so very helpful

Just what I needed; saved me so much time such as, for instance, not having to watch two minutes of ads to get to a two-and-a-half-minute clip. Thank you.

fix the freezing

Great browser though Safari produces a better range of images in searches. I love the privacy and the easy AI opt out. But the app freezes at least once per week. No other browser app does this and it's been a problem for years. The only thing that resolves it is restarting my iPhone which is annoying. PLEASE FIX IT!
