## What is HoloShield?

Make browsing on your device safer and more private with HoloShield.

Browse websites without a lot of annoying ads. HoloShield will help you get rid of banners, pop-ups, and other ads that interfere with your browsing experience. This is an extension for the Safari browser that can be easily activated in the Safari settings and effectively blocks most of the advertising services used by various sites.

You can visit any sites privately without saving your history directly from the HoloShield application.

Tracking protection.
Most sites use personal data tracking tools. They collect information about users who view their pages. With HoloShield, you can block most of the popular tracking software used by websites from collecting your data. Blocking trackers will also help improve website page loading speed and reduce your traffic consumption.

Protection from dangerous sites.
There are a huge number of phishing sites on the Internet that can seriously threaten the security of your personal data. Once on such a site, you may lose access to your accounts in various services. To prevent your data from being stolen, we suggest that you activate the security feature in the HoloShield app. This feature will also allow you to protect yourself from sites that distribute malware.

Internet speed test.
Use HoloShield to test your internet connection speed. Test download and upload speeds on cellular and Wi-Fi networks. HoloShield will also show your current IP address and locate your location on a map.

### 1/5 — NOT FREE AT ALL

*2025-12-08, version 1.0.1*

You say it’s FREE just like everybody else does but then once I open it I find you want just less then $40 (FORTY) USD a month!  Do you understand that some live on one fixed income and we elderly are already starving! For 17 almost 18 years we’re been trying to just survive so I just don’t understand why you say “FREE” when it’s not only not “FREE” but cost ALOT… A WHOLE LOT!!!!!
