Hush is a browser that blocks ads and trackers before a page can load them — no account, no data collected, nothing to configure. Open a page and it is just the page. No banners, no video ads, no pop-ups, no scripts watching where you go. The blocking runs on your iPhone using the same public filter lists trusted by millions, updated in the background so you never have to think about them. WHAT YOU GET • Ad and tracker blocking on every site, every tab • The right filter list for each language you read — 17 languages built in • Works in Safari too: switch on the Hush content blocker and Safari gets the same protection • Private tabs that keep no history and no cookies • HTTPS first: Hush asks before opening a page that has no secure version • Extra protection lists for malicious sites, phishing sites and ad servers — one switch each READ, DON'T FIGHT THE PAGE • Reader view strips a page down to the text • Read aloud reads any article to you, at the speed you choose, even with the screen off • Dark theme for the browser and for sites that offer a dark version • One text size for every page you open ASK THE PAGE Hush has a reading assistant. Open it on any article and it summarises what you are looking at, answers your questions about it, and can give you the page in your language. It sends the text of the page you are on and nothing else — no history, no identity. Three free requests a day. PRIVACY, PLAINLY • No account, ever • No analytics, no advertising identifiers, no tracking of your browsing • Filter lists are fetched from their public sources and compiled on your phone • Private tabs leave nothing behind • Cookies and site data can be cleared in one tap EVERYTHING ELSE A BROWSER SHOULD DO • Tabs with a switcher you can actually read • Bookmarks, history and downloads • Find on page, request desktop site, share • Choose the app's language inside the app Hush is made by a small team that believes the web is better without the surveillance. If something on a page does not block the way you expect, tell us — the lists get better every week. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
