About

Webora

Webora is a desktop-class web browser built for the iPhone. Most mobile browsers shrink the web into a stripped-down "mobile" version of every site. Webora does the opposite: it renders pages at their full desktop layout, then makes that layout genuinely comfortable to use on a phone. THE DESKTOP WEB, ON YOUR PHONE Webora requests and displays the real desktop version of websites, so you see the complete page the way it was designed, with every menu, column, and control intact. No more hunting for the "view desktop site" toggle or fighting cut-down mobile pages. MADE FOR ONE-HANDED USE A desktop page on a phone is only useful if it is easy to navigate. Webora gives you the tools to make it effortless: - Pinch to zoom smoothly anywhere on the page - Double-tap to instantly fit a column or article to your screen - A live page-width slider to dial in the perfect reading size - Cursor mode, an on-screen trackpad that gives you a real pointer for hover menus and precise taps on dense desktop layouts A BROWSER THAT FEELS LIKE 2026 Webora has been rebuilt from the ground up with a Liquid Glass design language: translucent layered surfaces, soft depth, fluid motion, and a calm, focused interface in both light and dark modes. Every screen, from the home page to the tab switcher, has been redesigned to feel fast, modern, and beautiful. EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT, DONE WELL - Tabs with quick switching and a clean, card-based switcher - Bookmarks and a speed-dial home screen for your favorite sites - Full browsing history with fast search - Find in page - Reader mode for distraction-free articles - Private browsing that leaves no history behind - A polished home screen with a time-aware greeting and recently visited sites PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your browsing stays on your device. Webora keeps your tabs, bookmarks, and history stored locally, not synced to a server you do not control. Built-in content blocking helps cut down on intrusive ads and trackers on the pages you visit. SUPPORTED BY ADS, NEVER INTRUSIVE Webora is supported by a small number of ads inside the app so it can keep improving. Ads appear only in the app's own surfaces, such as the home screen. They never appear on top of the web pages you are reading, and never in private browsing. WHY WEBORA If you have ever zoomed awkwardly around a mobile site looking for a feature that only exists on the desktop version, Webora is for you. It treats the web as the full, capable medium it is, and gives you the controls to enjoy all of it from your phone. Download Webora and experience the web the way it was meant to look.
