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 — 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 — 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

Mobile sites hide things. Buttons that exist on a computer are missing, tables lose columns, and sometimes the content you came for simply is not there. Fullsite fixes that by making websites believe they are talking to a desktop computer. Most "request desktop site" features change one line — the user-agent string — and stop. That fools a server and nothing else: the page still renders through a narrow phone viewport, so every responsive stylesheet takes its mobile branch anyway, and the site still hides what it hides. Fullsite goes after the part that actually decides the layout. It forces a real desktop-width viewport, so the rules that hide content stop matching. It removes the touch interfaces that tell a page it is on a phone. It supplies the request headers a desktop browser sends. And it keeps all of that consistent, so nothing contradicts anything else. WHAT YOU GET • The desktop version of sites that would otherwise force you to mobile • A built-in ad and tracker blocker — over 130,000 rules, on by default • Any tab can be switched to mobile on its own, without changing the others • Tabs that survive being closed, with your place on the page kept • Swipe the address bar to change tabs; pinch out to see them all • Private tabs kept in their own strip, so you never swipe out of private browsing by accident • Bookmarks and history, and a page width you can set yourself • Pages that load faster, because the ads never download SITES ON YOUR OWN NETWORK An intranet page, a router, a NAS, something behind a VPN. Most browsers on a phone fail these silently and leave you with a blank screen. Fullsite tells you what actually went wrong — the name did not resolve, nothing answered on that port, the certificate is not one this device trusts — and does something about it. It will try plain HTTP for a machine on a private network, ask before accepting a certificate from a company's own authority, and remember only that exact certificate, listed in Settings where you can take it back. BUILT FOR SPEED Fullsite is a few megabytes. Blocking runs inside the system networking layer with no JavaScript per request, so pages get faster, not slower. HONEST ABOUT LIMITS No browser on iOS can be undetectable — Apple requires every browser to use the same web engine, and a determined site can still find signals. Fullsite closes the ones that decide your layout, which is what changes what you see. You can check any page yourself: "What do sites see?" shows exactly which signals are still reachable. FULLSITE PRO — REMOVE THE ADS Fullsite is free and supported by ads of its own. Fullsite Pro removes every one of them. • Fullsite Pro Monthly — 1 month, $1.99 • Fullsite Pro Yearly — 1 year, $9.99, with a 3-day free trial • Fullsite Pro Lifetime — one payment, $19.99, no subscription Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of that period. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
