Overview

Surfer is a web browser that treats your attention and your data as yours. A shield is built in: it blocks ads and trackers using uBlock-class filter lists compiled on the device, stops pop-ups and tap-ad redirects, hides cookie banners, upgrades links to https and strips tracking parameters — and it shows you what it blocked on every page. Private tabs are never saved and stay out of the app switcher. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no server of mine that Surfer talks to; history, bookmarks and settings stay on your device, syncing over your own iCloud only if you turn it on. Every protection can be switched off per site.
