Welcome to T-Browser
This page is both a quick guide and a
live test you can run right now to check that each blocking rule works.

What does T-Browser do?
It is a browser that blocks images, video, and other heavy resources before they load, so you use less mobile data. Text still reads normally, so news and research work as usual.
Out of the box it blocks images, media (video & audio), fonts, and pop-ups, while stylesheets and JavaScript are allowed. If a page breaks and you cannot read it, you can loosen any of these individually in Settings.
Getting around
Everything you need is at the bottom of the screen.
- domain name … Tap it to see and edit the full URL. You can also type a search term here.
- ↻ … Reload (or stop, while loading). You can also pull the page down to refresh.
- ☆ … Add or remove this page from your bookmarks.
- ‹ › … Back and forward.
- ⌂ … Home, with the search field and your bookmarks.
- 1 … Your tabs. The number is how many are open.
- ••• … Settings, per-site settings, and allowing JavaScript on the current page.
Try the blocking
Everything below actually tries to load something. Change a toggle in ••• → Settings, then reload this page to see the result change.
1. Images
Blocked: you get a dashed placeholder box.
Allowed: a blue image reading “Image loaded” appears.
2. Media (video & audio)
Blocked: it will not play — the frame stays black or fails to load.
Allowed: pressing play shows “Video is playing”.
3. Fonts
Blocked: both lines look the same — the system font is used for each.
Allowed: only the top line turns into a pixel font.
4. Stylesheets
Blocking stylesheets also strips the styling from this page. Text stays readable, but many sites will look broken, so leaving this on all the time is usually not worth it.
5. JavaScript
Blocking JavaScript saves a lot of data, but many sites stop working. It is usually best to leave it allowed and turn it off only when you need to. When you want to allow it for just one page, use ••• → Allow JavaScript on This Page and ReloadPro.
6. Pop-ups
Blocked: “Pop-up blocked” appears at the bottom and nothing opens.
Allowed: the page opens in a new tab.
Changing settings
- Tap ••• at the bottom of the screen
- Choose Settings
- Flip any toggle under “Resources to Block” (changes apply immediately)
- Come back here and tap ↻ to reload and see the difference
You can switch the search engine between Google and Yahoo! JAPAN.
What Pro adds
- Press and hold to show an imagePro
Press and hold a blocked image to load just that one image. Normal blocking resumes as soon as you navigate away, so you use very little data. If you would rather keep the standard iOS link preview, you can switch this off in Settings. - Per-site settingsPro
Save exceptions per domain, such as “allow images on this site only”. Find it under ••• → Settings for This Site. - Allow JavaScript on one pagePro
Reload a broken page with JavaScript allowed, just that once. It reverts automatically on the next page you open.
Questions
The page is blank or looks broken
Usually that is the stylesheet or JavaScript blocking. Try ••• → Allow JavaScript on This Page and ReloadPro, or turn the matching toggle off in Settings.
I cannot sign in to a site
Turn JavaScript blocking off and try again.
How much data will I actually save?
It depends on the site, but on image-heavy pages most of the download is images. Blocking images only is the sweet spot: big savings, and very little breaks.
