Do the same for Twitter, Google+ and other social media. • Stop annoying Tapatalk popups, nagging you to download forum browsing app on every visit. • Take control of someone else's device - you can preconfigure any iOS device to control it with your Weblock app. Block or redirect any content, anytime, directly from your own device. • Your predefined filters and custom rules can be synced between all your iOS devices using iCloud. • If you wish to block something else, you can create your own rules and filters.

Read full description

See how your site behaves in various browsers by tweaking the user agent. NOTE: Websites may still use fingerprinting techniques to determine what browser you are using. Unguent does not actually change the browser engine used by Safari. The user agent tells a website what browser (including the version) you are currently using. By detecting the user agent, websites can change their behavior appropriately (such as by disabling features where not supported). Features - Choose from a set of preset user agents, or add and manage your own presets - Set a user agent as a global user agent, or set user agents per site - Update preset user agents Unagent does not collect any data, and only rewrites the User-Agent header where necessary.
