Some websites don't just show ads. They try to take over your browser: fake "you have a virus" pop-ups that lock the screen, hijack redirects that carry you to scam pages, and overlays that trap your taps. SwatBrowser is built to stop them. SwatBrowser reads how a page behaves and shuts down the hostile parts, without filter lists, accounts, or tracking. It works on every site. STOPS THE TRAPS - Fake virus and scam pop-ups that try to lock your browser - Pop-ups, popunders, and hijack redirects that carry you off-site - Clickjack overlays and fake-close gates that steal your taps - Dimming screens and interstitials that hold a page hostage SEE WHAT SITES DO - X-Ray shows what each site tried to read about you: fingerprinting, trackers, and sensor access, kept on your device and never sent anywhere - A plain-language report of exactly what was stopped, on this page and over time FREEZE MODE One tap freezes a misbehaving page and stops scripts, overlays, and motion instantly. READER Strip the clutter and read any article in a clean, adjustable view, light or dark. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No block lists, no accounts, no ad identifiers, no tracking - Randomized fingerprint and location controls - Autocomplete from your own history and bookmarks, never network lookups - A Safari content blocker is included Tabs, favorites, downloads, and a security indicator, everything you expect from a browser, without everything you do not.

I mainly stream sports and movies from my browsers. This app allows me to escape those annoying popups ### 5/5 — Best Pop Browser I’ve Tried *2026-10-15* Never have to worry about popups from those video / stream pages anymore. Only one stop solution I’ve found on iPhone ## Version history (last 4 releases) ### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-24 SwatBrowser 1.1.0: the Safari features you asked for, with the shield still on every page. New: a 1-month free trial on Monthly and Yearly for new subscribers (one free trial per Apple Account). The purchase screen shows whether you qualify and the full price after the trial before you buy. Camera, microphone and location for websites. A site that wants your camera, microphone or location asks first, and SwatBrowser shows you which site is asking. If you allow location, the site sees your real location. Private tabs never remember a yes. Website Settings. For the site you are on: Camera, Microphone and Location (Ask, Allow or Deny), Request Desktop Website and Page Zoom. Clear History and Clear Data reset them. Page text size. Make any site's text smaller or larger from the More menu, 50 to 300 percent, remembered per site. Request Desktop Website and Print, in the More menu. Add to Calendar and Add to Contacts. Download an event or a contact card and add it in one tap. Reading List. Save pages to read later, with an offline copy of articles. Find it in Bookmarks and History. Pin Tab. Keep your favorite tabs pinned at the top of the tab grid. Hide Distracting Items. Tap anything on a page to remove it, and bring it all back with Show Hidden Items. Downloads work like Safari. SwatBrowser asks before it saves a file, names where it comes from, shows the progress and lets you open it right away. Reader appears only on articles and reads cleaner. Typing localhost, an IP address or a port opens that address. The clock stays readable on text, image and PDF pages. Stronger protection for downloads, links and pop-ups, and fixes throughout. SwatBrowser may ask, once in a while, for an App Store rating after it has protected you on plenty of pages. You can turn these requests off in iPhone Settings. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-15 The status bar now follows the page as you scroll. When a site keeps its header pinned at the top, the area behind the clock takes the header's color, just like Safari. The clock and status icons now stay readable on every site, light or dark. Play on TV now appears only after you start a video yourself, not when a page autoplays one in the background. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-14 Videos now keep your screen awake while they play. Open in Swat from the share sheet now opens the link in SwatBrowser. Play on TV: a new button sends live and streaming video to your Apple TV. DRM-protected video is not supported. SwatBrowser now handles web links directly. New Yearly plan: SwatBrowser Pro is now Monthly, Yearly or Lifetime. ### 1.0 — 2026-10-10 No release notes. ## Apps similar to SwatBrowser | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [OneBar Browser](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/onebar-browser/id6803730831) | — | Free | Utilities | | [Wayline Browser](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/wayline-browser/id6777997332) | — | Free | Utilities | | [Enviromates.earth](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/enviromatesearth/id1523677820) | — | Free | Utilities | | [Asterysk](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/asterysk/id6759477475) | 5.0 (4) | Free | Utilities | | [tabbrowser: Ad Blocker Browser](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tabbrowser-ad-blocker-browser/id6811391857) | 5.0 (4) | Free | Utilities | | [Sakubura - Ad Block Browser](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sakubura-ad-block-browser/id6759131670) | — | Free | Utilities | ## More apps by HBKL Labs LLC - [Rabbit Hole: Deep Dives](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/rabbit-hole-deep-dives/id6784109384) - [Anchored: Daily Briefing](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/anchored-daily-briefing/id6791283136) All apps by HBKL Labs LLC: https://appshunter.io/developer/1866673767 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
