Banish for Safari

Block annoying "Open in App" popups

51 followers

I was annoyed by the "Open in App" popups on sites like Reddit and Twitter so I made a Safari Extension to remove them. Sometimes they're just nuisances, but sometimes they completely block the page. You shouldn't have to use the app if you don't want to.

Hi all! I wrote Banish to get rid of popups I saw every time I opened Reddit. I think they're pretty dark web practices because you shouldn't have to use the app if you don't want to. I was inspired by Hush, which is a similar idea but for Cookie banners. The extension uses patterns to block banners across any site. I've personally made sure the following work well: reddit.com, twitter.com, linkedin.com, tiktok.com, instagram.com, quora.com, medium.com google.com, calendar.google.com, docs.google.com, maps.google.com, yelp.com, etc. I'm charging $1.99 since it was a pretty manual process to go through a ton of sites and hand-write rules to remove banners, but I'm giving away 10 PROMO CODES to anyone who comments below with either a website that's been annoying them with these banners or just saying hello :) P.S. It's a really small app that does only the minimal changes necessary to remove popups. Your browsing data never leaves your phone. Let me know what you think!

@az8n Amazing App! Thankyou! Reddit is one of the big offenders for me! They always come up in Google searches, but bug the heck of you to install their app! Did I upvote in time for a code! :-D

Well, Tiktok is banned in my country so I don't need to worry about that. But, I would love to get rid of Reddit banners if I can! Keep up the good work. :)
