## What is Popbye?

Pop-ups, ad banners and cookie notices covering the page you came to read? Turn on Popbye once, and Safari hides ads and clutter on the sites you visit. No VPN, no account.

Popbye Pro unlocks blocking. New subscribers get a free trial.

ONLY IN SAFARI
Popbye works in the Safari browser on your iPhone. It does not block ads in other apps, games or other browsers.

WHAT POPBYE PRO BLOCKS
• Ads: banners, ad slots and scam redirects, plus a regional list matched to your iPhone's language for German, French and Russian sites
• Cookie banners and pop-ups: consent notices, newsletter overlays and other interruptions
• Social widgets: share buttons and embedded social media feeds
• Tracker Blocker: a second Safari extension that blocks known tracking scripts
• Video Shield: an optional Safari extension that skips video ads on youtube.com in Safari — on the website only, not in the app. When the site changes, we usually fix Video Shield within a day
• Hide an Element: tap anything on a page to hide it on that site

ALSO IN POPBYE
• Pause any site: if a page doesn't work right, tap Share in Safari → Popbye, or add sites in the app
• Site broken? Report it from the same menu: the email contains only the site's address and the app and iOS versions, and you decide whether to send it
• Guides: a two-tap fix for a site that won't open, and tips if you usually browse in another browser
• Filter lists update automatically
• A notice if the extension gets switched off, for example after an iOS update

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Popbye is a Safari content blocker, not a VPN or a DNS filter. It can't see the pages you visit or your browsing history: Popbye gives Safari a list of rules, and Safari applies them on your iPhone. Video Shield asks for access to that one website only, and Hide an Element works only on the page where you use it.

TURN IT ON ONCE
Turn on Popbye in Settings → Apps → Safari → Extensions (on iOS 17: Settings → Safari → Extensions). The app shows you where to tap and confirms when blocking is on. On recent iOS versions, Popbye opens the right page for you.

Small download: under 15 MB.
