The page, cleaned up before it reaches you. Vigatamala is a general-purpose privacy browser you can set as your iOS default. Links from other apps can open here too. It does not chase pop-ups one by one. It works earlier: ad slots, trackers, malicious redirects, cookie notices, and "open in app" walls are handled before the page settles whenever possible. FREE, NOT A TRIAL Everyday browsing • Tab groups: keep work, shopping, and what you are following apart • Pinned tabs: important pages survive swipe-to-close and Close All • Bookmarks and Reading List: park a half-read article for later • Private browsing: private tabs leave no history • Several search engines, right from the address bar Content blocking • Removes ad slots and trackers, and collapses the gaps they leave only where it is clearly safe • Blocks malicious pop-ups and redirects: hijacked tabs, fake download buttons, back-button hijacking • Dismisses cookie notices automatically, so you stop tapping the same button on every site • Closes "open in app" walls by itself, and never taps the install button for you • Fingerprinting protection, and HTTPS everywhere • Built-in rules work out of the box; fuller community filter lists download in-app, free • The shield in the address bar: when one site looks wrong, unblock that site alone Start-page widgets • Currency: a big-button calculator that converts several currencies at once, using central bank reference rates where available • Timer, Weather, Radio, PTT, Toolkit, Fate and Cheer Kit PLUS: SMOOTHER WATCHING AND READING • Background audio — switch apps or lock the screen, and audio can keep playing • Picture in Picture — one tap in the ⋯ menu turns video into a floating window • Play queue and repeat — build your own order, repeat one item or the whole list • Resume playback — come back to a long video and land where you left off • Reader reflow — long articles rebuilt into one clean, continuous read • Continuous reading — pull in the next page without going back to the index • Automatic rule updates — blocking rules refresh up to three times a day • Hide short-form and end-screen recommendations — on supported video sites • More widgets — up to ten on the start page (five on the free plan) PRIVACY WITHOUT THE ADJECTIVES No personal sign-up or login is required. To keep Plus tied to this device, the app registers a persistent install identifier with our CISIP backend and syncs subscription transactions. No third-party, ad or analytics SDKs; no IDFA. App Privacy declares IDs, purchases, diagnostics, and server-logged app usage for analytics; none for tracking. Browsing history, searches, bookmarks, viewed media, and coordinates are not sent to us. Diagnostic logs are off by default; when on, URLs keep only the host name, and turning them off deletes them. STRAIGHT TALK Blocking removes most common ad slots and trackers, but sites keep changing: we do not claim to catch every ad, and some pages will still render imperfectly. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS • Plan: Vigatamala Plus, sold as a monthly or a yearly subscription. • Price: in Taiwan, NT$120 per month and NT$690 per year. Prices in other regions are set by your local App Store. • The yearly plan includes a 1-month free trial, which becomes a paid year unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the trial ends. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. • The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. • After purchase, you can manage the subscription or turn off auto-renew in your Apple Account settings. • Privacy Policy: https://privacy.link2us.link/ios • Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Questions, or a site that looks wrong?

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HEP Plus at none against Vigatamala Browser's 2. HEP Plus also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Vigatamala Browser's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
