Umbric
Read full descriptionHide full description
Website data does not carry over between sessions — and the moment someone might look, the whole screen hides. • Reduces ads and trackers with network rules and on-page cleanup • Cookies, cache, and web storage do not persist between sessions; history stays on your device • The moment you switch away, the screen auto-camouflages • One-tap wipe clears the categories you choose There are moments you'd rather not show your screen to anyone. A stranger's glance on a packed train, someone walking behind you in a café, the seconds your phone sits unattended, a brief hand-off to someone else. In those moments, leaving no trace and showing nothing matter. Umbric leaves no trace and shows nothing — an iOS browser that keeps cookies, cache, and web storage out of persistent storage, blocks ads and trackers, and auto-camouflages its screen when moved to the background. Key features - Non-persistent storage for cookies, cache, and web storage (wiped between sessions) - Browsing history stays on-device only, never sent externally — wipe it with one tap - Private Mode: Face ID-protected, separate space for bookmarks and history - Two-layer ad & tracker blocking (network rules + DOM-level removal) - Stops pop-ups and ads that open new tabs on their own - Fingerprinting protection (Canvas / WebGL / AudioContext / Navigator) - HTTPS enforcement, JavaScript dialog blocking, camera / mic access denied - One-tap wipe: clear history, cookies, cache, and more by category - Focus Filter integration: switches into Private Mode automatically - Recently closed tabs, in-page search, reader mode, video download About the name "Umbric" combines Umbra (Latin for shadow) with the idea of a deft, well-considered move. Sit beside you without taking up space, slip out of sight the moment a glance comes near — your privacy, kept by your own hand. Leaving no trace isn't about deceiving anyone. It's about taking care of your own privacy. No trace. Nothing shown. — Umbric.

You just don't want it in every tab. Site blockers take the whole website away. Content Cloak lets you stay on the page and cloaks only what you're done with: a show you haven't finished, a name you'd rather not see, a story that keeps following you. HOW IT WORKS • Add the words, names or topics you want cloaked • Matching content is blurred, hidden or underlined — your choice • Tap any cloaked item to reveal it when you're ready • Whitelist trusted sites, or blacklist sites to always block them • One list, set up once, works on news, search and the web versions of your social feeds FAMILY SAFE MODE • Blocks known adult websites before they load • Enforces Safe Search on Google and Bing • PIN lock keeps the settings in place (Power) PRIVATE BY DESIGN • All matching happens in Safari, on your device — page content never leaves it • No browsing history is collected.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Content Cloak at none against Umbric's 1. Content Cloak also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Umbric's advantage is update cadence (daily vs weekly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
