Essential browsing tool

Works great across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. All settings sync seamlessly.

Stop the Madness assumes some knowledge of how web browers work, but provides a broad set of functionality that takes the annoyance out of using poorly designed (or hostile) web sites and pages. It can customize the display, add logic, and take back control of Safari from websites that just want to make you do it their way. It's a dream.

Perfect for power users that want control back!

This app provides a ton of "behind-the-scenes" configurability, not only for "all sites", but also on a site-by-site basis. StM lets you fix so many annoyances that are so popular on the web these days. Many thanks to Underpass for not only making this app, but also for making a bundle so us users of StopTheMadness could upgrade to Pro for a reduce price!

Absolutely Essenstial! Just buy it, you wont regret it.

This is an amazing extension I literally couldnt use Safari without it. Plus having it on my phone and tablet...game changer. And now it has iCloud sync thank god!!!

Wish the UI was a little more...streamlined though. It's a little intimidating at first. But it's not difficult to use at all once you get the hang of it.
