StopTheMadness 4+

If you look at the StopTheMadness feature list, you will see numerous, seemingly small website behaviors that StopTheMadness adjusts to be more in keeping with standard Mac behaviors. You may not notice it at first, but StopTheMadness really does bring sanity back to browsing by disabling website "features" that disrespect user expectations of how websites work. Sure, you may encounter an occasional site that won't work well with STM's defaults, but if the site is important to you, you probably can tweak a setting or just temporarily disable STM while on that site. To be fair, I can't remember the last time I needed to do that, though. Kudos to the developer for a useful, thoughtful solution to a complex set of challenges!

At first glance, $10 for a really low profile utility app seems crazy but consider this: Web Developer are purposefully acting against the best interest of users more and more everyday, you don't realize how much ground they've taken because it comes to you in tiny incremenets.

With this application, you get all of that power given back to you immediately and forever, and all you have to do is buy it once for what is for most people a relatively irrelevant amount of money.

It's one of those things that you didn't know you needed it until you got it and then you can't be without it .

We shouldn't have to have an app to give us back control of our own web browsers, but give a web developer an inch and he'll take a mile. It's nice to have sanity restored and be able to do the normal things that computers have been able to do for decades. Copy and paste!

The one feature I'd love to see added is to block the "Wait, don't go!" pop-ups that happen just because the mouse moves to the title bar. So annoying! It's bad web design and eventually designers will stop doing it (I hope), but until then, that's the one feature this app could add to make it golden. The features it has right now are worth the purchase.
