StopTheMadness Mobile 4+

5 stars for saving my time clicking ‘no thanks’ to the common digital dictators many times a day. The mentality their CEO’s have puts the time and energy of the common user in jeopardy for cheap profits that do no one any good, so thank you so much for doing what I couldn’t. I tried creating .css and .js files to fix it myself but didn’t work and it was well worth paying someone who knows what they’re doing and updates it amazingly, so all power to the indie developer who helps the common man in the fight against (essentially) the modern war: the digital front waged against the privacy, time and energy of the people Versus nefarious corporate greed, which will stop at nothing to leech off our attention to shove ads, paywalls, cookies and loyalty programs in our faces. The war is on!

There are so many questionable decisions web developers make. Custom video controls with a full screen button that doesn’t actually go full screen… “get the app” nag bars… click and scroll hijacking… The list is endless.

StopTheMadness can’t fix everything, but it has a jolly good go at it. It just sits in the background quietly taking little irritations away so that I never have to think about them, making me a happier person.

This Safari extension fixes so many annoyances I’ve had with Safari on iPadOS/iOS it’s unreal. It really enhances the experience of using Safari on iPad.

It’s an impressive little app and it offers excellent value with regard to bang for buck. Regular updates and a simple and clean UI to boot.
