2. 2In Safari, open any website, tap the puzzle icon in the address bar → Manage Extensions → switch Turnoff on.
3. 3Tap the puzzle icon again → Turnoff → Always Allow → Always Allow on Every Website.
4. 4Back in the app: turn on Beyond Safari — it filters adult sites in every other browser and switches private tabs off.
