Descripció

IMPORTANT: New customers should purchase StopTheMadness Pro rather than StopTheMadness Mobile, which will receive no new features.

StopTheMadness is a Safari extension that stops web sites from making your browser harder to use. And it protects your privacy on the web. StopTheMadness is not an ad blocker: it offers unique features not available from ad blockers or any other apps. StopTheMadness is one of a kind!

Made by indie developer Jeff Johnson. The support link has documentation and my email address.

Many web sites deliberately disable user interface features in Safari that you normally expect to work. StopTheMadness re-enables those features for you in Safari:
• opening contextual menus
• selecting, copying, cutting, and pasting of text
• drag and drop
• AutoFill/autocomplete of passwords, emails, etc.
• 2-finger click to open a link in a new tab

StopTheMadness also protects your privacy on the web:
• Stops Google AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages). Automatically loads the original "canonical" web site page instead of Google AMP.
• Removes tracking tags such as utm_source, gclid, and fbclid from the end of URLs.
• Stops clickjacking in Google Search, Gmail, Facebook, and DuckDuckGo.
• Stops hyperlink auditing by removing the anchor "ping" attribute on link clicks.
• Stops tracking beacons (Navigator.sendBeacon).
• Stops sites from using the Page Visibility API to know when a tab is visible on your screen.
• Stops URL shorteners. Checks the links you click in Safari for well-known link shorteners — bit.ly, tinyurl.com, t.co (used by Twitter), etc. — and loads the unshortened destination URL instead of the shortened URL. This occurs without setting any cookies or other site data, so you can't be tracked by your click.

Bonus Features:
• Stop videos from autoplaying. This works even on sites where Safari doesn't stop autoplay, such as YouTube. Also stops videos from following you down the page when you scroll on many sites.
• Automatically skip YouTube video ads.
• Stop sites in Safari from pausing your audio in a background app such as Apple Music.
• Show native video controls. Use Picture-in-Picture from Safari on sites that don't normally support it, including YouTube.
• Automatically select web video speed. Speed up videos, or slow them down.
• Automatically select video quality on YouTube.
• Hides the annoying popup banners prompting you to get the app on Google, Google Maps, DuckDuckGo, IMDb, Quora, Reddit, and Tumblr. Also hides "Sign in with Google" banners on all sites.
• Font replacement. Substitute one font for another on web pages, such as Helvetica for Arial and Courier for Courier New.
• Add your own site-specific CSS and JavaScript to web pages.
• Custom URL redirects. Redirect new Reddit to old Reddit, Twitter to Nitter, YouTube to Invidious, etc. You can create any redirect that you want.
• Stop keyboard page zoom. Stops the page from zooming in when you show the software keyboard.
• Enable pinch-to-zoom on sites that prevent it, such as old reddit.
• Stops "Are you sure you want to leave this page?" alerts. Close your tabs without getting stopped by the site.
• Force links to open in the current tab instead of a new tab. Remove target="_blank" from links so that they no longer automatically create a new tab.
• Force links to open in a new tab instead of the current tab. This is great if you're scrolling through a list of links and want to open each one in a new tab.
• Force images to the front. Bypass the transparent overlay on sites such as Instagram that prevents you from dragging and opening the contextual menu on images.
• Warns when you paste or type beyond the maximum length in a password field or other text field. Stops you from accidentally losing characters.
• Edit Tab URL: Instead of struggling to edit a URL in the Safari address bar, edit the URL in a large editing field, with buttons to remove the URL query, copy the URL, or open the URL.

The essential fix for broken browsers

I’ve been using STM (desktop and mobile) since forever. Combine it with with a decent ad and tracker blocker and find yourself back in the good old days of web browsing. It works on Safari, Firefox and Chrome. The documentation is clear, the settings are easy to manage and the developer will help you out with any problems at the drop of a hat. You really can’t get any better way to Stop The Madness!

It breaks websites

It’s more than an ad blocker but it doesn’t block ads, it stops anti functionality by breaking websites. Like the send button on kijiji message or the rest of their menu icons go blank. This is just one example, what does this program do? Go to YouTube and fiddle around with the “preserve functionality “ only to find out YouTube website puts the stuff anywhere with little concern to this app. I honestly don’t know what it does for 13 bucks. You can get cheaper amp apps. That do just that, every app developer is trying to make a Swiss Army knife and they aren’t even Swiss. Jack of all trades master of none. Im sure it does it’s amp blocking just fine, but all the extra features are there to increase the value of the app without adding anything.

Resposta del desenvolupador ,

This review is absurd. (1) StopTheMadness is not "more than an ad blocker", it's not an ad blocker at all. The description says specifically that it's not an ad blocker, in order to avoid confusion, so I'm not sure why the reviewer is introducing this confusion. (2) "YouTube website puts the stuff anywhere with little concern to this app." What does that even mean? The reviewer is rambling, but nobody can understand. (3) The reviewer never contacted support about any issues. I'm happy to help customers with an issue if they just contact me. (4) Why did the reviewer buy this app if all they wanted was an AMP blocker? The reviewer seems to not know what the features are — the features that are listed in the App Store description — yet the reviewer still spent the money for some strange reason, and is now experiencing buyer's remorse? I don't get it. Anyway, you can visit reportaproblem.apple.com to get an App Store refund if the app is not what you wanted.

It FIXES web sites

Contrary to what another review said, STM does not break web sites. It fixes them. It eliminates a wide variety of annoyances, including some that other extensions only eliminate one by one, for a total expense that is much higher. It does have a few more “experimental” features that might not work right for everyone, but those are clearly labelled as such and are never on by default. If you have any issues, don’t write a lousy review. Contact the developer and he’ll help you figure it out.
