## What is Addons?

【Platform】
Addons supports seamless usage across all Apple platforms, allowing for data synchronization between iPhone, iPad, and iMac devices.

【Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey】
One of the highlights of Addons is its support for Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey scripts. With this feature, you can add custom scripts to your Safari to achieve more functionality, such as automatic pagination, harassment blocking, automatic expansion, webpage translation, and more. This feature is very powerful and can give your Safari unlimited possibilities.

【Resource Sniffing】
Resource sniffing is another standout feature of Addons. It supports automatically merging and converting m3u8 files to mp4. It also supports background playback and export of videos, allowing you to enjoy high-definition movies anytime, anywhere.

【Customized Ad Filter】
Addons not only helps you block annoying ads, but also speeds up webpage browsing and provides a better user experience. Similar to AdGuard and Adblock Plus, Addons' custom rule function allows you to control ad blocking accuracy more flexibly, meeting your personalized needs.

【Tagit Mode】
The ad filtering feature allows you to get rid of annoying ads while browsing web pages. Addons supports tagit mode, which allows you to remove web page ads while retaining useful content, making your browsing experience more pure and comfortable.

【Smart Search】
The smart search feature allows you to quickly switch Safari search engines by using [trigger word + space + keyword]. You don't need to manually change settings multiple times; it can be done with just one click.

【Web Dark Mode】
Finally, Addons also supports webpage dark mode, helping you better protect your eyes and avoid the frustration of overly strong white light at night.

In summary, Addons is a feature-rich and easy-to-use Safari extension that allows you to customize your Safari with more functionality and useful tools, giving your Safari unlimited possibilities! Come and experience it now!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2025-07-02, version 4.6*

Great for many reasons!

### 1/5 — DON’T EXPECT A REFUND ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO REFUNDS!!

*2025-01-01, version 4.3*

Any app that require you to download another app to work in conjunction with another is not a completed application instead it’s a way of selling false claims and shouldn’t be in the apple app store. how do we know if this app is using or selling our information to other companies instead of doing what it says it does. the app developer says you need to use Adguard or Adblocker for this to work I have Adguard and adguard works without this app this application claims to stop ad Scripts and The Brave Browser does a better job doing what this app claims. I don’t recommend this app to pay $5.00 for an app that has no reason to be in an app store. as it’s just bloatware not software. I have been programming for over 32 years and this application is my option is garbage. I under stand sometimes in order for example that if you are programming a weather app etc. sometime you need to use a weather map API with Python. But, that’s because you need python to locate the location and weather for specific origins. unlike this app, you need to use a complete additional ad blocking app with another Adblocking app. means this app is not full developed.  and should not be deployed until it has been completed.
I will be posting this on all social media outlets to show that this app is garbage. you could have just refunded the $5.00 instead you scammed me and now. I will be telling everyone that is app is garbage hope it was worth the $5.00 bucks

**Developer response:** Bro, you completely misunderstood what we meant, okay?

First, what we meant is that you only need to import ad-blocking rules in AdGuard syntax into the Addons section to enable ad filtering in Safari. I never said you need to install the third-party AdGuard software. Please understand the difference and don’t make false accusations.

Second, based on your feedback, we’ve decided to include commonly used rules in the next version. This way, users won’t have to input these rules manually. By the way, if you had joined our user group, we’ve already shared these rules there.

Third, if you want a refund, you can simply request it through Apple’s official refund process. As developers, we have no say in your refund request and no authority to deny it—everything is decided by Apple. I don’t know if this is your first time buying an app from the App Store, but please don’t use your ignorance to insult us.

We’ve been actively and patiently responding to your questions, but please also show respect for developers. We’re having this conversation on equal grounds. If you don’t like it, please don’t try to harm it.

### 1/5 — False Claims Application

*2024-12-20, version 1.3*

As a developer with 32 years of experience, I noticed a potential design flaw in this app. It claims to function as both an ad-blocker and a script manager, yet explicitly states that it requires external tools like AdGuard or another ad-blocking application to block ads effectively.

From a developer’s perspective, this raises questions about its completeness and modularity. If the app markets itself as an ad-blocker, it should inherently provide that functionality without relying on third-party solutions. Integrating APIs to extend or enhance functionality is a common practice, but requiring them for core features suggests that the app may not be fully developed or designed as a standalone solution.

If this app is merely a “script and ad-blocker helper,” its branding and communication should clarify that it works in tandem with external software. Otherwise, it’s misleading. A true ad-blocker would handle both script management and ad filtering internally, leveraging a combination of regex matching, DOM inspection, and request interception to provide seamless functionality.

If the current setup truly requires third-party tools for ad-blocking, it may be worth reevaluating whether this app should integrate with or delegate to external tools explicitly in its design philosophy. A clear separation of concerns or a proper API-first approach could streamline this. What do you think?
