Watching media over a browser has a lot of limited options on iOS. The default browser, safari has a ton of clutter which makes a non-immersive experience for consuming media. Asobi solves this problem. At its core, Asobi allows you to view media without any clutter on a mobile device because space is important when viewing a website. There is no URL bar in Asobi. Instead, a default URL can be set to open on every app launch. This allows the user to jump right into the action instead of having a homepage on the screen. Asobi also has other hallmarks of a standard web browser such as: - History - Bookmarks - Downloads There are also privacy related features such as: - Incognito mode - Ad blocking - Authentication on startup - Hiding content in the recents menu Asobi has a navigation bar to quickly access all the options above. This bar can be tucked away automatically or with a triple tap of the screen. The app is free and 100% open sourced: https://github.com/bdashore3/Asobi More information is in the app website: https://kingbri.dev/asobi Happy browsing!
