Floati spots trackers no list has caught, answers your questions from your own reading, and gets even closer to the pixel

The biggest privacy and memory update yet. Floati now runs its own on-device detector that spots trackers by how they BEHAVE - a company quietly setting a durable cookie, firing a data-carrying beacon, or keeping an identifier inside a hidden frame - even when no blocklist has named it yet. Every detection is shown in plain English with the reasons behind it, and you can optionally let Floati block the strong ones, with a one-tap undo per site if a page ever looks wrong. The who-is-watching-you view is redesigned into a clear leaderboard of the companies behind the trackers, and the blocklists now keep themselves up to date. On the memory side, Ask your reading now understands MEANING, not just matching words - it can find the page you half remember even when you and the page used different words - and you can ask a question right in the address bar. All of it runs on your device, with nothing sent anywhere. Plus a fresh wave of rendering fixes that hold layouts truer than the mainstream engines on the same pages.

Privacy & Shields	Floati now has its OWN tracker detector, on your device. It watches how a third party behaves - setting a long-lived cookie, sending data out in a beacon and getting nothing back, keeping an identifier across sites from inside an embed - and flags it as a likely tracker even when no filter list has caught it yet. Each one is shown with the plain-English reasons it was flagged, so it is a claim you can check, not a black box.
Privacy & Shields	You can now let Floati BLOCK the trackers it detects, as an opt-in switch that is off by default. It only ever blocks strong, twice-confirmed cases, never scripts or the page itself or first-party content, and never sign-in, payment or consent services - and if a page ever looks wrong, one tap unblocks that site and reloads. The risks are spelled out next to the switch: this uses Floati's own judgement, not a vetted list, so it can occasionally be wrong.
Privacy & Shields	The who-is-watching-you view is redesigned into a calm leaderboard: the companies behind the blocked trackers, ranked by how many requests they tried, each with what they do with your data in plain words and their domains one tap away - all worked out on your device from a sealed, checkable record.
Privacy & Shields	The blocklists keep themselves current. Floati quietly refreshes the tracker and ad lists in the background when they get more than a few days old, so a tracker the lists only just learned about is caught without you ever opening settings.
Memory & reading	Ask your reading now understands what you MEAN, not just the words you typed. Ask about a cat on a mat and it can surface the page about a feline on a rug, even though they share no words - a small language model that runs entirely on your device, offline, alongside the existing word search. It also keeps your reading memory from growing without bound over months and years.
Memory & reading	Ask a question straight from the address bar. End what you type with a question mark and Floati answers it from the pages you have actually read, instead of running a web search - your own reading, cited, on your device.
Memory & reading	Answers point to the exact spot. Your reading is now indexed in short passages, so a cited answer knows the precise sentence it came from - the groundwork for opening a page exactly where you read it.
Rendering	A fresh wave of rendering fixes brings pages even closer to how their authors drew them: elements nudged with offsets inside flexible and grid layouts now land in the right place, and a box's minimum width now respects its content's spacing. Floati also holds two things the mainstream engines get subtly wrong - nested equal columns line up exactly with no hairline seams, and square tiles never overflow their row by a fraction of a pixel.
