i love this
thank you for making safari not suck <3 appreciate it
Unsure About This
It works perfectly fine, I haven’t experienced any issues. A few sites don’t change to dark mode, but I believe that’s down to the programming of the sites themselves.
However, I’m really unsure about what data is stored through this app, does it have access to all of your searches, visited sites etc? does it keep logs? If so, what does it store in those logs? The developers Privacy Policy hugely differs from the App Store privacy labels, so it’s impossible to tell if by installing an extension to remove tracking etc, you are actually enabling further tracking.
Until this is made clear, I will be uninstalling and using more transparent alternatives.

If You Value Privacy At All — Avoid This App
On the app’s download page, the developer gives the impression that they don’t collect much data and that what they do collect is anonymous. This is HIGHLY misleading, and this practice should be banned by Apple. In the developer’s privacy policy, which has to be typed + opened separately in a browser (something they know most won’t do), the astonishing amount of data this extension collects is revealed. This app, as others have pointed out, essentially spies on EVERYTHING you do in your safari browser. “If it’s free, you’re the product” definitely rings true for this app. User beware!

What the heck is this thing doing?
It seems I'm having the opposite experience the app intends. It breaks the Internet on my phone when I use Safari. Sites just break. Lots of sites. They crash. Links don't work. They get stuck in endless loading loops. Pictures won't load. Video won't play. Using Google search on Safari with this app is like using dialup from 1993. I don't know what it's doing for all the five-star reviewers.
If I use another browser without Hyperweb, everything works fine. If I use Safari without Hyperweb, everything works fine. The second I start using Hyperweb, Safari is a dumpster fire. Pretty clear correlation there, and I'm not tech-dumb. So what's going on?

Works, if you don’t value your privacy.
If it’s free, you’re usually the product. They essentially spy on all of your activity on Safari. As per their privacy policy:
"Usage Data may include information such as Your Device's Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that You visit, the time and date of Your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.
When You access the Service by or through a mobile device, We may collect certain information automatically, including, but not limited to, the type of mobile device You use, Your mobile device unique ID, the IP address of Your mobile device, Your mobile operating system, the type of mobile Internet browser You use, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.
We may also collect information that Your browser sends whenever You visit our Service or when You access the Service by or through a mobile device."

App is no longer being supported despite multiple major bugs
Long time user of this app -- a few months ago I started seeing that the element picker dialog for block element/autoclicker goes away almost as soon as it appears once an element is tapped on, so it's now impossible to hit "Continue" to actually create the block/autoclick. This has been left unfixed, and now I'm unable to even perform a Google image search without this extension crashing the browser tab, despite the fact that this extension doesn't even do anything with Google image searches. Right now I'm keeping this installed just because it blocks ads on Twitter but it's super annoying having to turn this off every time I want to do an image search.

It’s absolutely amazing.

Invasive “suggestions”, and buggy
Firstly, the web search “suggestions” are just ads, and the developer has insidiously tried to prevent disabling them by requiring you to click through to a page to individually disable each of dozens of them.
Secondly, I can’t go to the second page of Google search results unless I disable Hyperweb. Any attempt to go to a different results page than “1” redirects to 1.

Broke google image search and poor support response
So hyperweb is completely breaking my google image search. Page reloads twice and throws "a problem repeatedly occured" for every single google image search.
Tried joining their discord server and worryingly its full of spam bots. No response from the devs either on the discord server.
Avoid!
