【Main Features】
■ Ad Blocking
Blocks or reduces ads and intrusive advertising elements on Safari web pages.
• Blocks ad-related network requests
• Hides dynamically displayed advertising elements
• Helps reduce video ads
• Enhanced ad blocking protection
• Per-site exclusion settings
Depending on a website's structure and ad delivery methods, some ads may still appear.
■ Picture-in-Picture (PiP) Support
Helps enable Picture-in-Picture playback on supported video pages.
Watch videos in a small floating window while using other apps.
PiP may also work on some video pages where it is difficult to use through Safari's standard controls.
■ Playback Speed Control
Adjust playback speed from 0.1× to 5.0× on supported video pages.
Speed changes take effect immediately upon selection, and your preferred speed can be retained when switching videos or reloading pages.
■ Floating Video Controller
Displays convenient playback controls on supported video pages, allowing you to control videos without tapping directly on the video itself.
• Start and stop Picture-in-Picture
• Change playback speed
• Play and pause
• Skip backward and forward
• Collapse and expand the controller
Customize the controller with single-row or two-row layouts, individual button visibility settings, button sizes, opacity levels, and skip intervals.
An Extra Large button size is also available for easier operation, and you can preview the controller directly in the app's settings.

View the estimated number of ads blocked and the estimated amount of data saved.
Note: Ad counts and data savings are estimates. Actual results may vary depending on website structure and other factors.
