Description
BANISH. The #1 Safari Extension to block annoying 'Open in App' popups & other dark patterns on the web.
“Banish does one thing and does it well: it nukes dickpanels in Safari on iPhone and iPad”
— John Gruber, Daring Fireball
"The app proved incredibly useful. For instance, when on Quora, clicking a link to another Quora page would normally pop up a blocker that requires you to log in to continue navigating the website. With Banish, this pop-up was gone and you could use the site normally"
— Sarah Perez, TechCrunch

Ratings and Reviews
Perfect! Like an adblocker but for ‘open in app’ / ‘upgrade your sub’ overlays gone crazy
I’m a paying subscriber on a bunch of sites; New York Times, Guardian, and often search reddit for answers. Using Safari, I’m getting constant overlays nagging me to read in app, or upgrade subscription - NYTimes being worst recently. Installed this, instantly solved. Like a glass of ice water!
Not for me
I’m sorry I think I misunderstood what this was all about…. Having read some misleading reviews I guess. I hate that some companies; Reddit, Evernote force you to use the app when in IOS. There is no way to open the actual website since you are thrown into the app. Evernote is particular good at this. You try all the tricks, open in background etc… it slams you into the app…..
So I had read that Banish could prevent this. But it doesn’t. I enabled everything as stated and still get thrown into the App Store if I try to log into Evernote. Reddit also just opened my app, but I am less bothered about that
So I don’t really know what else it is used for, that was my only irritation with safari!!
Game changer
I can now view Reddit without the pops this get rid of them all including :- use the app there are more cats, also removed the allowing you can’t view this here view in app take me back to safety!
Not tested with other side but this is a game charger so far!
Worth every penny just!
