About

AdBlocker Rust Browser No Ads

Features
Read full description

AdBlocker Rust Browser is a full web browser with ad, tracker and popup blocking on your device, built on Apple's WebKit engine with a Rust core. BLOCKING THAT STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE Bundled rules block ads, trackers and popups locally. The shield shows blocked-ad and tracker counts, plus estimated data and time saved. Mark Ad Element lets you hide an element the blocker missed, with your choices saved only on this device. Cookie consent banners are declined automatically. PRIVACY DEFAULTS Global Privacy Control is on by default. HTTPS-first upgrades pages to secure connections, with fallback and a per-site switch. Encrypted DNS uses Cloudflare by default; choose malware or family filtering, System Default, a custom HTTPS provider, or Off. Encrypted DNS is not a VPN. Camera, microphone and location access for websites are off by default; any permission you enable expires after two hours. NORMAL OR INCOGNITO Normal browsing keeps cookies, cache, website logins, saved passwords, visit history and search history on your device. Saved passwords belong to the browser and are stored as unencrypted records. Browsing data lets you delete individual history entries or clear history, cookies, cache and saved passwords. Start Incognito from the menu button below Find on Page. That session keeps no browsing history, saved passwords or persistent cookies. Tap Home to clear it immediately. Closing and reopening the app returns to normal browsing. OPTIONAL CLOUD SYNC Connect your own Google Drive or iCloud account in Settings to sync normal-mode history, searches, cookies, saved passwords, Favorites and permanent settings. Saved passwords remain unencrypted records. Incognito, cache and DOM storage are excluded. Disconnect requires confirmation. Clearing local browsing data does not promise deletion of provider copies. Noler does not receive your cloud data. SAVE WHAT YOU FIND Long-press an image or video to save it. The file is kept as the website served it, without re-encoding, so an animated GIF stays animated. Protected or unsupported streams show a reason when they cannot be saved. CHOOSE WHERE SAVES GO Choose your photo library, one folder through the system picker, or Ask Every Time. A folder may be on this device, in iCloud Drive or another installed storage provider. Saving to the photo library requests add-only access; opening a saved gallery item uses the system photo picker without requesting library read access. KEYBOARD PRIVACY A switch in Privacy refuses third-party keyboard extensions and keeps typing with Apple's own keyboard. No browser account, subscription, in-app purchases, advertising from Noler, analytics or telemetry. Noler does not receive your browsing history. Search suggestions and search-panel lookups send the terms you type to Google and Wikidata to provide those results. Websites load directly and apply their own terms and privacy policies. An internet connection is needed to visit websites.
