Versatile as a Swiss Army knife

Very thoughtfully assembled set of features. This extension allowed me to replace a bunch of very specific ones with a single extension.
I know there is a separate extension to stop running JavaScript, I feel this is one small feature that could be part of this extension and make it complete.

Just two ratings made me sad :(

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.
