Outdated - Blocks More Than Just Ads

This app interfered with normal Safari page behavior on our iPhone. Apple’s Report a Problem page would not load its standard dropdowns until Umbra was disabled. I’m leaving this review so other users know to check their content blocker if important sites stop working.
