Show Browser keeps what you do on your own iPhone. There is no account to create and nothing to sign in to. Your history, bookmarks, downloads and per-site permissions live on this device and are never uploaded anywhere. The app sends nothing about you to us: there is no analytics library inside it, no crash reporter, no advertising, and nothing watching how you use it. WHAT YOU GET ⢠Private tabs that keep no history, no cache and no site storage, and are never written to disk ā not even when the system closes the app. ⢠Your tabs come back. Reopen the app and the session is where you left it. Private tabs are the deliberate exception: those do not return. ⢠Add your own shortcuts to the new tab page. Long press to remove one. ⢠HTTPS first, with a full-screen warning when a site cannot do it ā not a small icon that is easy to scroll past. ⢠A certificate warning that never quietly accepts on your behalf. ⢠Camera, microphone and location decided per site, reviewable and revocable. ⢠Clear browsing data by time range. ⢠Reader mode, find in page, and request the desktop version of a site. ⢠Report an objectionable page from the menu; it reaches us directly. ⢠Block any site from the menu, and manage the list in Settings. PERMISSIONS Camera, microphone and location are requested only when a site you are on asks for them, and only after you have allowed that site. The app itself never uses them. WORTH KNOWING BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD Show Browser renders pages with Apple's WKWebView, as the App Store Review Guidelines require of every iOS browser. Pages therefore look and behave as they do in Safari. What differs is everything around the page: how tabs are managed, how security is surfaced, and the fact that nothing leaves your device. Show Browser is made by Sage. https://showbrowser.sage.show

Hush is a browser that blocks ads and trackers before a page can load them ā 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.

WHAT YOU GET ⢠Ad and tracker blocking on every site, every tab ⢠The right filter list for each language you read ā 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 ā 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 ā 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.
