Sverk is a web browser that blocks ads and trackers from the first launch and opens an AI chat in one tap. It warns you before a scam or phishing site opens. No ads • The blocker is built in and on from the start: ads, trackers and cookie banners don’t show. • The Strict level also removes “subscribe” pop-ups, social buttons, chat widgets and “get the app” banners. • Cookie banners are hidden, and nothing is clicked for you: consent is neither given nor refused. • If blocking breaks a site, turn it off for that site with the shield in the address bar. • Blocking lists update every day, without an app update. AI chat • A round button over any page opens an AI chat. Drag it to an edge or a corner of the screen. • Widgets on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen open the chat in one tap. The large one shows your last conversation. • Touch and hold the Sverk icon for “AI chat”. • The button starts a new conversation, takes you back to the last one or opens your chat list — your choice in settings. • Answers come from Google’s AI Mode. No account needed, and AI conversations stay out of your browsing history. Scam and phishing warnings • Before a phishing page that imitates a well-known site to get your password or a text-message code, Sverk shows a warning. • The same before sites on the warning lists of financial regulators — the Bank of Russia, Cyprus (CySEC), France (AMF) and the EU (ESMA): fake brokers, pyramid schemes, illegal lenders. • Sverk checks addresses against the lists here, on your iPhone: the address is sent nowhere. The lists update every day. Translate pages • A page in another language is translated in place, so you stay on the site. • Sverk offers to translate by itself. Choose which languages to always or never translate in settings. News and video • Headlines and videos on the new tab — the international edition in English, or the Russian one. Tune topics and sources, hide anything with one tap, or turn the feed off. • When a video plays, a speed button appears next to the address: ×1.0, ×1.25 or ×1.5. The speed you pick stays for every video. Tabs and search • Swipe along the address bar to switch tabs. • The address bar goes at the top or the bottom. • Incognito tabs for private browsing: Sverk keeps no history, cookies or form data for them. • Pick your search engine at first launch: Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave or Yandex. • Bring over your bookmarks from another browser as an HTML file, folders included. Passwords are filled in by iPhone AutoFill. • Sites secured with Russian certificates, such as Russian banks, open without installing a profile. The certificate is trusted only inside Sverk, and only for Russian domains (.ru, .su, .рф) and a few banks under .com. What leaves your iPhone • Questions to AI go to Google, like any search. • Page text goes to a translation service when you translate. • Blocking and scam checks happen on your iPhone: the addresses you open are sent nowhere.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Wayline Browser at none against Sverk's shown. On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
