The web has gone sideways. Ads play before, during, and after every video. Short-form content hijacks the feed. Comments race to the bottom. talavo is a native iOS browser that strips all of it. Open a video. No pre-roll, no mid-roll, no banners. No vertical video shelves at the top. No comments unless you ask. No end cards stealing the last twenty seconds. What's left is the thing you came to watch. Lock your phone and the audio keeps playing. Lock-screen controls show the title with next and previous buttons. Set a sleep timer and it counts down inside the Dynamic Island. Hold a video down with two fingers and it becomes a floating Picture-in-Picture mini-player you can drag anywhere on screen while you scroll a different tab. This is not a Safari extension. It is a real browser, built for iPhone, designed to put the controls where your thumb already is.
