NOT an AD blocker, but it’s OK

As the developer mention in the description, kind of vaguely, this is NOT an AD blocker, it’s more of a scripting automation to tweak sites elements.

To be honest, I used a lot of AD blockers and also tools similar to this one and I don’t think the app justify its price, compared to other apps that dos the same. I read the app info from their site and I thought I could tweak it to block some content that the app claims to be able to block, like YouTube content, it failed like 4 out of 5 times, even with all permissions set correctly.

So this app is kind of in a strange spot, it’s not a actual AD blocker, it’s a tweak tool, that is expensive because if you get some of the AD Blockers from the App Store, they will do the tweaks and also fully block ADs, and most of them will be only a fraction of this price or even free.

Hi, please contact support, and I can help with issues. Email: stopthemadness@underpassapp.com There is a small amount of overlap with other extensions, but StopTheMadness Pro has a large number of features that are unique to it.

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 :(

I saw just two ratings here for this amazing tool :( , hence adding one more 5 star review to make the dev happy happy :)

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.

ratings nag

Posts an App Store ratings nag on the app interface. Have some respect for your paying customers.

Excellent

Extension works great and the developer is very responsive to fixing issues.Highly recommended!

Ótimo

Cumpre o que promete, recomendo.

Useful, but could use some helpful tweaks

I like the idea of this extension. The user interface could be cleaner. It could be easier to disable the extension on the current website with one click rather than first manually creating a profile. The menus and options are so extensive that it can be hard to know where things are and what’s enabled. Still, a helpful extension.

To clarify, it sounds like you're talking about the Firefox extension. The other web browsers don't require this process. Unfortunately, Firefox makes its own copy of the extension, so the extension doesn't update automatically when the StopTheMadness Pro Mac app updates.

YouTube Option Request

Great app! Maybe we could get an option to return the dislike count?

I feel better than before

Finally, some sanity in an ever maddening and overtly invasive world.

Everybody needs this.

Die wohl beste Erweiterung für Safari

StopTheMadness ist eine der mächtigsten Erweiterungen für den Browser, die ich bisher gesehen habe. Die Integration in Safari mit Synchronisation via iCloud zwischen verschiedenen Geräten funktioniert exzellent. Der Entwickler behebt über den Supportweg gemeldete Bugs zügig und zuverlässig.

Works as described

One-time payment, reliable, and regularly maintained with updates. The same app also works on both my phone and iPad

Excellent.

An immensely well-appointed app for which I have no criticism.

Absolutely strong work, developer.

Bravo!

Lunacy halted

Jeff Johnson is brilliant. Who else knows this much about Safari & chooses to be not just on the good side but to fight for our privacy. Thank you Mr. Jeff!

Active Dev

Rare to find apps that are nostalgic to the old days. One time app purchase. Continuous improvements. A dev that hates what the internet has become as much as the rest of us. 🫡

Fantastic

I’ve been using StopTheMadness for years. Love it. Can’t imagine not having it.

Quality of life improvement. Just makes the web easier to use. Less friction.

Love this app. Have used the classic version previously, and use the browser extension everywhere it's compatible. Dev is very responsive, and regularly updates app

By far my most used feature is probably the copy on hover. Right-clicking for copy isn't a huge inconvenience individually, but when you have to copy long lists of links or especially link titles, it's such a decrease in friction with this app.

Has other fantastic features such as hotkey protection (to stop websites stealing your key binds), right-click protection, a basic element viewer for those annoying sticky elements on mobile websites, bringing images to the front of the page for interaction, etc.

Most functions of the app can be replicated with userscripts, but this app provides a convenient "toolkit" that seamlessly removes so many little annoyances about the modern "thanks Google/Shopify now web standards are optional and everything is just an ugly, slow javascript animation" web

You stop the madness! 🛑😖

Over the past few days, I have installed Sink It for Reddit and X. And your applications. I personally think the disable scripts feature MUST be included in stop the madness. It’s so mad it’s not that way
