On a slow connection? Speed up Safari with Speedafari! "Kinda crazy, but it works." - Federico Viticci, Macstories.net Speedafari blocks unnecessary parts of websites from loading. By removing part of the experience (ads, tracking scripts, external fonts, videos, etc.), you save time, battery, and data. Speedafari is always just a swipe away, in the notification center. Just tap once, and — boom — Safari speeds up. No need to switch browser. Easily switch between three different aggressiveness levels — low, medium, and high. The higher the aggressiveness, the more will be blocked, and the faster the page will load. Note that some website functions may not work at all with the medium and high levels. Whitelist the sites you love to support them, by letting them show you ads. Use the Speedafari URL scheme to toggle speedup and change the aggressiveness, from inside other apps. For example, you can make Speedafari semi-automatically trigger upon leaving home, by using it in combination with the Launch Center Pro app. Out in the woods? With Speedafari, you don't need to worry about slow internet anymore! "Speedafari is a blocker that strips away everything it can so you can still load pages even when your connection is crap." - Thorin Klosowski, Lifehacker.com Oh, and don't worry about privacy! Speedafari has no access at all as to what web pages you visit. Note that all features are included in the download price, and that in-app purchases are not required to unlock anything. The in-app purchases simply provide a means to voluntarily support the development of Speedafari. What our users say: – "You didn't know that you needed this nifty little app until you used it; then, you wondered how you could have gone this long without it! Flawless so far." – "On its highest level of blocking it eliminates *all* graphics, which is terrific if you have limited bandwidth or just want to get to a site's text. [...] Very useful, unique features make this a must-have for me. Recommended." – "The ability to quickly turn it on and off and change the aggressiveness through the notification menu is a win win." – "It works beautifully." – "One of the best app purchases made" – "Get it. Quickly." Developed and designed by Arvid Lunnemark.

Sink It for Google is a super minimal Safari extension that declutters and cleans up your search results. Tired of seeing tons of nonsense spam websites on your Google searches? Sink It for Google silently, and safely, removes all of them. PRIVACY FIRST --------------- Sink It for Google has been built with a privacy first approach. - All the blocking happens on your device with literally ZERO data being recorded or sent back to be data mined. - Sink It for Google doesn't keep historic usage data like the count of how many sites it has blocked. - It doesn't even come with basic app analytics or telemetry to keep track of how many times you've opened or use the app. - It does check whether you have dark mode on or not so it can show you the correct tutorial video. (I hate opening a bright video on dark mode as much as you.) EASY AS 1-2-3 --------------- Ban sites with just a tap of the hammer icon. Monitor what sites are being banned on any page and unban with another tap. Easy peasy! DECLUTTER YOUR SEARCH RESULTS ---------------------------------- Currently, it de-clutters and removes spam websites from regular Google search. Search Ban will support image search on Google as well as other search sites like DuckDuckGo and Bing in the next few updates.
