Welcome to BATT

BATT (Block All The Things) is a content blocker for Safari on iOS. It uses Apple's latest innovations to help make your web browsing experience faster, and hopefully more secure as you don't get tracked across the sites you visit on the web.

BATT can currently block:
- Website ads
- Those really annoying EU cookie notices
- Social share buttons
- Comment sections.

BATT features:
- Regularly updated blocklists
- Whitelists - add sites to the whitelist so BATT doesn't adversely affect them
- Found a site that BATT breaks? Tap the share action button in Safari, and report the site to us. We'll do our best to fix the blocklists.

How do I use it?


Launch the app, and you'll see some onboarding screens explaining what BATT does, how it does it, and how you enable it. It's very simple.

Welcome!
Thanks for using BATT - Blocking All The Things that annoy you on the web.

step1



What Does BATT Do?
BATT is a content blocker for Safari. It uses a set of rules to select content on web pages, and blocks those items from being displayed, like the massive advert in this image. It can block ads, cookie notices, social share buttons and comment sections. BATT never sees which web pages you're visiting; your browsing is private, as it should be.

step2



Can BATT Block Everything?
No, it only blocks what it's told to block, based on the blocklists we provide. While it's pretty good at what it does there are so many websites and myriad ways of rendering pages that we can't catch everything. However, when we find issues and when users report problems, we update the blocklists; you just need to check for updates in the app and you'll always get the latest versions.

step3



Whitelisting Sites
If you don't want to block content on a specific website just tap the share action button in Safari, tap Block All The Things, then tap the Add button to add the site to the 'whitelist'. Repeat the step and tap Remove to remove the site from the whitelist, or open the app and remove it from the list of sites. Content is not blocked on pages within whitelisted sites.

step4



Report a Problem
If you find some content isn't being blocked, or BATT is causing an issue on a website, you can anonymously report a problem to us. Just just tap the share action button in Safari, tap Block All The Things, then tap to report the problem. It's completely anonymous.

step5



Setup
Setup is so easy! Go into your device's Settings app, then Apps > Safari > Extensions > Block All The Things > and toggle it on for any profiles you have; or you can open Safari, tap the website settings or extensions icon, and enable it from there. It's super easy, and you'll have faster, ad-free, cookie-notice-free browsing in no time!

step6



And that's it!
Just surf the web in Safari, and you should see fewer adverts and other annoyances!
