The page, cleaned up before it reaches you. Vigatamala is a general-purpose privacy browser you can set as your iOS default. Links opened from other apps can come here too. It is not trying to close one annoying pop-up after another. It works earlier in the flow: ad slots, trackers, malicious redirects, cookie notices, and "open in app" walls are handled before the page settles whenever possible. No personal sign-up or login is required before you browse. FREE, NOT A TRIAL Everyday browsing • Tab groups: keep work, shopping, and what you are following apart • Pinned tabs: important pages survive swipe-to-close and Close All • Bookmarks and Reading List: park a half-read article for later • Private browsing: private tabs leave no history • Several search engines, right from the address bar • Can be set as your iOS default browser Content blocking • Removes ad slots and trackers. Leftover gaps get collapsed where we can; where we cannot tell, we leave them rather than gamble with your layout • Blocks malicious pop-ups and redirects: hijacked tabs, fake download buttons, back-button hijacking • Dismisses cookie notices automatically, so you stop tapping the same button on every site • Closes "open in app" walls by itself, and never taps the install button for you • Fingerprinting protection, and HTTPS everywhere • Built-in rules work out of the box; fuller community filter lists download in-app, free • The shield in the address bar: when one site looks wrong, unblock that site alone PLUS: SMOOTHER WATCHING AND READING • Background audio — switch apps or lock the screen, and audio can keep playing • Picture in Picture — one tap in the ⋯ menu turns video into a floating window • Play queue and repeat — build your own order, repeat one item or the whole list • Resume playback — come back to a long video and land where you left off • Reader reflow — long articles rebuilt into one clean, continuous read • Continuous reading — pull in the next page without going back to the index • Automatic rule updates — blocking rules refresh up to three times a day • Hide short-form and end-screen recommendations — on supported video sites PRIVACY WITHOUT THE ADJECTIVES No personal sign-up or login is required. To keep Plus tied to this device, the app registers a persistent install identifier with our CISIP backend and syncs subscription transactions. No third-party SDKs, ad SDKs, analytics, or IDFA. App Privacy declares User ID, Device ID, and Purchase History for App Functionality, not tracking. Browsing history, searches, bookmarks, viewed media, and location are not sent. Diagnostic logs are off by default; when on, URLs keep only the host name, and turning them off deletes them. STRAIGHT TALK Blocking removes most common ad slots and trackers, but sites keep changing: we do not claim to catch every ad, and some pages will still render imperfectly. When one looks wrong, the shield in the address bar lets that single site through.

On by default; turn it off in Settings, or for one site from the shield in the address bar • Touch and hold the shield in the address bar to turn blocking on or off for that site, without opening the menu Improved: • When you reorder tabs, a tab now lands in the slot you are hovering over • Sub-pages have a grabber and support full immersion, and they share one playback queue with the tab they came from • On iOS 27, the "do not sell or share my data" request now also covers content embedded in a page • A leaner Settings screen; "Audio only in background" is now called "Save data during background playback" Fixed: • Sound turning itself on while you scroll a video feed • Ad slots inside embedded components on some sites were not blocked • Menu items on some sites, such as captions, were pressed automatically • Tabs restored right after launch could not be bookmarked • Advanced features were briefly unavailable while a subscription was valid Seeing a site render incorrectly? Write to us from Settings → About. ### 1.4.1 — 2026-09-19 This version fixes cases where an active subscription did not unlock. • After switching to a second device, reinstalling, or restoring from a backup, a paid subscription showed as not enabled. • Advanced features could be locked temporarily while a payment was being processed. If advanced features still have not come back, tap "Explore Advanced Features" on the start page, then "Restore Purchases". ### 1.4 — 2026-09-17 This update improves issue reporting and subscription account linking. • Report emails now keep cleaner formatting and line breaks. • Diagnostic logs are kept in memory so copied or emailed reports include better context. • Plus subscriptions now sync through CISIP to match purchases and redemptions to the right device account. ### 1.3 — 2026-09-16 This update improves Plus subscription and account matching: • The app registers a stable device install ID on launch so subscriptions stay tied to the same device. • In-app Plus purchases send the same ID to Apple for backend verification. • Existing subscriptions sync on launch and when the app returns to the foreground, improving entitlement recovery after offer-code redemption outside the app. • App Privacy disclosures now describe account, device, and purchase data used for App Functionality only, not tracking. Browsing history, searches, bookmarks, viewed media, and location are not uploaded. ### 1.2 — 2026-09-16 This update makes browsing links easier: • Open links in a subpage and return to the original page easily. • Improved sign-in continuity in subpages. Bookmarks now open in the current subpage without creating extra tabs. • Added confirmation for opening external apps and a message when an app cannot be opened. • The toolbar now collapses automatically as you scroll, leaving more room to read. • Fixed an issue where track information could remain visible after turning off Lock Screen track display. • Improved stability for background playback and track changes during repeat playback. • You can now allow or deny website location requests, improving compatibility with features such as nearby store searches.
