Doesn’t work for LinkedIn

I specifically bought and downloaded this app because I am trying to avoid automatically viewing LinkedIn profiles in the app when I click on a link for one in safari (a work related issue). For a while, I would be asked if I wanted to open the link in the app, I would simply hit cancel, and I would be able to view the page or profile from safari. Eventually that prompt stopped appearing altogether, and any time I clicked a link in safari it would automatically open in the LinkedIn app.

Looking for a way to resolve this, I downloaded this app. I enabled it through settings/extensions as instructed, and immediately I am encountering the same issue— clicking a link in safari takes me to automatically viewing the linked page from within the app. I’ve seen the developers be very helpful with issues in previous reviews, so I am hoping for some guidance here.

Developer Response ,

Sorry for the frustration. Banish is great at eliminating annoying popups on websites, but it sounds like the app is opening before Banish gets a chance to cleanup the website. Can you try long-pressing on a LinkedIn link and selecting "Open" (instead of "Open in LinkedIn"). If you do that once, it will become the default and happen from then on. Feel free to reach out to BanishForSafari@gmail.com

This is a godsend.

I was looking for all types of Adblockers and trying to change advance settings, but it was useless to stop those annoying and reason to completely leave a site: “Open in App.” This app fixed the awful pop ups, and i can use sites like Reddit without being constantly forced to try to use an app i don’t want on my phone or iPad. I champion Banish to everyone because it is my most important app on my apple products. When i do a full restore, it is 100% my first app i prioritize so i can start looking at the internet.
