BATT is a content blocker for Safari. It lets you Block All The Things that slow down your browser - like adverts and cookie notices - and makes it a bit more magical surfing the internet. Who wants ads taking up space on their screen? Or those really annoying EU cookie notices? (Yes, thank you, EU, we're all aware of what cookies are.) And how about those social share buttons? Comments sections? GONE! BATT features: • Blocks ads, Cookie notices, Social share buttons, and Comments sections, and any combination thereof. • Updatable blocklists: We update the lists as often as we can; you just need to check for updates in the app. • Whitelists: Add a site via the share action button in Safari, and BATT won't block content on that site. You can also remove a site from there, or in the app. • Report a problem on a website: Use Safari's share action button to anonymously tell us if BATT is causing a problem on a website. We'll do our best to fix it for you! (And it really is anonymous.) • Accessibility built-in: Differentiate Without Colour, Button Shapes/Show Borders. • Compatible with iOS/iPadOS 17+ Using BATT will give you faster browsing in Safari (and apps using Safari to view webpages), and less clutter on the screen. Reclaim the internet! Block All The Things!
