Some websites have an overwhelming number of images and headlines and ads all screaming for your attention simultaneously. GlobalMobile simplifies the content on these websites and restores your sanity.

Many of the worst offending websites actually have nice mobile versions. GlobalMobile will display this nice mobile version in your browser, even if you're not on a mobile device.
