Banish - Block 'Open in App' vs StopTheMadness Pro Usage & Stats
BANISH. The #1 Safari Extension to block annoying 'Open in App' popups & other dark patterns on the web.
“Banish does one thing and does it well: it nukes dickpanels in Safari on iPhone and iPad”
— John Gruber, Daring Fireball
"The app proved incredibly useful. For instance, when on Quora, clicking a link to another Quora page would normally pop up a blocker that requires you to log in to continue navigating the website. With Banish, this pop-up was gone and you could use the site normally"
— Sarah Perez, TechCrunch
