ASAblocker is a fast, private web browser that blocks ads and trackers — including YouTube video ads and Facebook "Sponsored" posts — so pages load cleaner and quieter. Your browsing runs on your device. No account, no sign-in, and no ASAblocker servers: your history and cookies stay on your phone and can be wiped any time. FEATURES • Blocks ad and tracker requests using an on-device content blocker • Removes YouTube video ads at the source and cleanly skips any that slip through • Hides Facebook "Sponsored" posts • Keeps audio playing in the background and floats video in Picture-in-Picture • Mini player: drag a video down and keep browsing while it plays • Music: download songs from direct links or import them from Files, and play them in the background with Lock Screen controls • Royalty-free focus sounds — rain, ocean, brown noise, calm • Skips intros, recaps and "still watching?" prompts on streaming sites • One-tap speed dial for your favorite sites • Clear all browsing data with one tap ASAblocker is free and supported by ads. Blocking is best-effort: sites change often, so an occasional ad may slip through. Music downloads work with direct audio files (MP3, M4A, AAC, WAV, FLAC). Content from streaming services cannot be saved. Privacy Policy: https://assmdev.com/en/privacy/asablocker
