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).

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Chimaki at none against ASABlocker's shown. Chimaki also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 weeks). ASABlocker's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
