CLUSTER ADS-BLOCKS-FILTERS · 14 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-05-08
Mobile security and privacy apps
This cluster comprises mobile security apps that check device settings, block ads and malicious websites, filter spam texts, and monitor identity/data breaches. Entry dates are sparse from 2014 through early 2025, then concentrate in April–July 2026 (7 of 11 dated entries). Traction leaders are Antivirus Protection: Onyx, ainotif, and Mobile Security: ProtectOn, all with 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
