Makes the Web Usable Again

Thanks to this app, many annoying (and sometimes abusive) behaviors of many websites are now neutered, making them browsable again.

Take a bit of getting used to however, for those who aren’t afraid of web codes and understanding with a little trial and error, your efforts will be rewarded with far fewer pop ups!

Thanks Underpass!

Definitely worth buying

I’ve used this app exclusively. There are other apps that work similar but you’ll need multiple apps to do what what this app will do and they are not as good. This is the rolls Royce of safari extensions.
