Stop annoying popups and unwanted new tabs! TabGuard gives you complete control over your Safari browsing experience.
Take back control of your Safari tabs! TabGuard blocks annoying popups and unwanted new tabs while you browse.
Tired of websites opening random tabs when you click anything? TabGuard is a powerful Safari extension that stops websites from hijacking your browsing experience with unwanted popups, new tab links, and sneaky redirect tricks.
-----------------------------------
WHY TABGUARD?
Every day, websites try to force open new tabs, spawn popup windows, and redirect you to ads. TabGuard puts you back in control — block everything, allow trusted sites, or let Smart Mode decide automatically.
-----------------------------------
KEY FEATURES
◉ BLOCK POPUP WINDOWS
Stop sites from using window.open() to spawn unwanted popup windows in your face.
◉ BLOCK NEW TAB LINKS
Prevent links from forcing new tabs to open. Keep browsing in your current tab.
◉ BLOCK POPUNDERS
Stop sneaky scripts that try to open tabs behind your current window.
◉ THREE PROTECTION MODES
• Block All — Maximum protection, blocks everything
• Smart Mode — Allows your clicks, blocks scripts
• Allow All — Disable protection when needed
◉ SITE-SPECIFIC RULES
Whitelist sites you trust to allow their popups. Blacklist annoying sites to always block them.
◉ REAL-TIME NOTIFICATIONS
See exactly what's being blocked with elegant on-page notifications.
◉ BLOCK HISTORY
Track everything TabGuard blocks. See which sites are the worst offenders.
◉ INSTANT SYNC
Settings sync instantly between the app and Safari extension.
-----------------------------------
PERFECT FOR
• Stopping ad popups on streaming sites
• Preventing shopping sites from opening new tabs
• Blocking redirect chains on sketchy sites

SMART MODE
Don't want to block everything? Smart Mode intelligently distinguishes between:
• YOUR clicks — allowed (you meant to do that)

It's the perfect balance between protection and usability.
