Hush vs Sverk

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/

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.
