Some sites turn every tap into an ad. You press play and a new tab opens. You tap "next chapter" and land on a scam page or the App Store. ZeroAds is a browser that keeps you on the page. Turn on the shield, and links that try to take you somewhere else simply don't go. No redirects, no pop-up tabs, no forced app opens. MADE FOR • Free video, sports and anime sites that open an ad on every tap • Manga, comics and web-novel sites with hidden ad links • News and recipe pages covered by full-screen ad overlays • Anyone who keeps landing on "your iPhone has a virus" pages HOW IT WORKS 1. Browse as usual. Search with Brave, Google or DuckDuckGo. 2. On a page full of traps, turn on the shield. You stay on that site. 3. Want to go somewhere else? Open a new tab, or turn the shield off. ALSO • Blocks ads with the EasyList filter (about 90,000 rules) • Removes full-screen overlay ads • Skips video ads on YouTube • Tabs that are still there when you come back • Bookmarks, pull to refresh, and a landscape lock for videos • Long-press a link to open it in a new or background tab Free, no account needed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ZeroAds at none against Transforma's 1. Transforma's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
