Description

You’re already reading web pages on a pretty small screen. Don’t let floating social media sharing toolbars and the like get in your way.
Unobstruct includes a content blocker for Safari that will remove these bars automatically from several web pages. Just go into Safari’s settings and enable it under Content Blockers.
If a page still has floating bars covering it which aren’t removed by Unobstruct’s content blocker, you can hide these on demand. Do so by tapping the Unobstruct Page item in the Action button in Safari’s toolbar (which can be enabled under the More icon). If you need to get these hidden bars back, simply reload the web page (or long-press reload to load the page with content blockers disabled if you want them all).
Auto-blocking is available on many web sites, including:
• Medium
• TechCrunch
• The Verge
• Recode
• Polygon
• Vox and other Vox-run sites
• Wired
• Mashable
• And many others — see the entire list in the in-app settings
Note that on some sites, the top bar remains since removing it would make the site fail to function fully. But you can use the Unobstruct Page action to remove it.

Unobstruct Reviews

Great value for money

Geoff Hackworth on

I have another ad blocker which takes out most of the noise from web pages, but dynamically-generated content and privacy popups kept getting through. I’m not sure how much the static content blocker is helping with, but Unobstruct’s share action almost always removes the privacy popups. This makes reading the web so much nicer, especially on Medium. Highly recommended.

Good stuff

I’ve already got £0.99 value out of this, and I only bought it today. Worth it for Medium and Reddit alone, and works on a bunch of other sites. Maybe the existence of a commercially viable workaround will clue designers in to the stupidity of this boneheaded misdesign… the only downside is I have to manually invoke the zapper, but that’s not the app’s fault.

Thank you!

What a great tool - now I can actually read articles on Medium etc. without being driven crazy by all the floating buttons and menu bars all over the place. Give this developer a knighthood!

Amazing and ABSOLUTELY worth it

This immensely improves my web browsing experience, and it’s rare that it doesn’t work (and realistically, nothing will work 100% of the time). I would happily pay more for this knowing how it works for me; 99 cents is a steal for what it does. Thank you, dev, for creating and maintaining it! I will never be without it again.

Love it … but

I wish there were a preference to make it remember my choices.

This is one of the most useful apps i ever bought... and i no longer works

Recently it has stopped showing at all in the Safari share menu on iOS, i assume due to Apple updates. This is a great shame as it’s an invaluable tool when it worked

Doesn’t work

United States

I bought this so that the social media icons would disappear and I could actually read the content on the pages I’m looking at. But it didn’t do anything. I bought something that is worthless it doesn’t work.

It's great

I wish this wasn't needed but ux designers are morons these days and this helps you fight back.

One of the greats but seems abandoned

Blandsberg on

United States

No longer blocks all top of page toolbars on NYTimes.com, even after running the extension. I hope this is a one off issue and not the beginning of the end for this app.

Absolutely Essential

Today’s web design trends have one thing in common: annoy the user as much as possible with overlays, underlays, side bars, and other absolute crap. This extension hides all that garbage and restores sanity to the web browsing experience.
