mastodon 4.8.0-alpha.3+glitchA new kind of private browser for iOS and iPadOS by @mysk@mastodon.social
Isolated tabs • Antifingerprinting & Tracking Protection • 40+ Global Proxy Servers
During Psylo development, we discovered that LinkedIn website initiates a WebRTC connection as soon as it opens. The reason is still unclear. As WebRTC can leak the device's real IP, it is blocked by default in Psylo. In fact, Psylo is the only #iOS browser that blocks WebRTC.
Since iOS doesn't provide an API to disable WebRTC in WebKit, the only way to block it is via overriding its JavaScript APIs.
This video shows how you can add a custom Mullvad proxy in Psylo using Obscura VPN, or Mullvad VPN. 522 proxies in 50 countries🤘
Traffic of custom proxies doesn't go through our infrastructure and it doesn't count towards your bandwidth limit. ✌️
Testing a prototype of a new privacy + screen time feature:
Hide silos behind NFC tags 💨🔖
Some browsers offer password protection, but that still signals that something is being hidden. With NFC tags, silos stay invisible with no indication they exist, until you tap the tag.
As a screen time tool, you could lock away distracting silos behind an NFC tag and physically place it somewhere away from your phone.
Worth exploring further?

Full release notes: 👇
- Added support for saving pages as PDF files
- Added support for saving files, videos, and audio to the Downloads folder
- Fixed an issue where custom proxy region auto-detection could select an incorrect locale
- Fixed an issue where the Settings screen could accidentally be dismissed when swiping down
- Fixed an issue with the in-app rating reminder not opening the App Store
- Updated the flag of Iran in the proxy region selector
We needed to add a reminder to rate Psylo on App Store, since good ratings go a long way toward improving the app’s ranking
This is what we decided to go with: A simple reminder on the settings screen. Not a popup, but inline with other elements on the screen.
As a browser we felt it was important to avoid interrupting any flow of using the app. So the was no way we’d put the reminder on the main screen or during any browsing sessions.
🎊We've raised the monthly bandwidth limit to 200GB, up from 100GB.
After hitting 200GB the connection speed will be throttled, not blocked.
Enjoy using Psylo 🤘
With Psylo 1.2.0, you can add your own custom proxies. If you are a @mullvadnet@mastodon.online or @obscuravpn@mastodon.social subscriber, you can add any of Mullvad's SOCKS5 proxies to Psylo. Pick a proxy from this list:
https://mullvad.net/en/servers?type=wireguard&status=true
Just make sure your VPN is on to access the proxies 🤘
Side note: We wanted to provide an easy and intuitive way to help you import Mullvad's proxies from within Psylo but we've exhausted all methods to approach Mullvad team. Unfortunately, we got no response from them. If anyone can help with that, we'll really appreciate it.

Psylo 1.2.2 is now available with this new storage management feature 🤘
This is what you get when you add a custom proxy from @ivpn@mastodon.social in Psylo 🔥
When you add custom proxies in Psylo, you connect directly to the proxies. Proxy credentials are stored locally in Psylo. You can add any HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 proxies. Some VPN subscriptions already include access to proxies. We tested @mullvadnet@mastodon.online and NordVPN. Which proxies are you using?
