BANISH. The #1 Safari Extension to block annoying 'Open in App' popups & other dark patterns on the web. “Banish does one thing and does it well: it nukes dickpanels in Safari on iPhone and iPad” — John Gruber, Daring Fireball "The app proved incredibly useful. For instance, when on Quora, clicking a link to another Quora page would normally pop up a blocker that requires you to log in to continue navigating the website. With Banish, this pop-up was gone and you could use the site normally" — Sarah Perez, TechCrunch PRIVATE Banish does not collect or store any of your data - nothing leaves your device. BUY ONCE Just a one-time purchase and Banish is yours. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no ads, no nonsense. FAST The app performs the minimal, necessary changes to block popups and free up screen space. SIMPLE It's as easy as downloading the app and enabling it in Safari settings. No maintenance needed. MODERN Banish is written in Apple's latest programming paradigm Swift UI and Safari Extension functionality. --- NOTE: Even with Banish, Smart Banners can still appear at the top for apps you have installed. They can't be removed because they're built into Safari. Need Help? Contact us at BanishForSafari@gmail.com}

I’m sorry I think I misunderstood what this was all about…. Having read some misleading reviews I guess. I hate that some companies; Reddit, Evernote force you to use the app when in IOS. There is no way to open the actual website since you are thrown into the app. Evernote is particular good at this. You try all the tricks, open in background etc… it slams you into the app….. So I had read that Banish could prevent this. But it doesn’t. I enabled everything as stated and still get thrown into the App Store if I try to log into Evernote. Reddit also just opened my app, but I am less bothered about that So I don’t really know what else it is used for, that was my only irritation with safari!!

Doesn’t block a lot of popups. On the other hand, blocks Apple Pay buttons on lots of websites from appearing. Very useful!

It might block ads, but it usually does so by making the page itself break. Things like PayPal doesn’t load and it’s just more trouble than it’s worth.

During the set up, it tells you it can’t banish banners for apps you own. That’s why I bought it! 😭 The developer should mention that here, not after you’ve bought it. Unusable for me.

Does what it says right out of the box. I like google but have great disdain for the “want to sign in using google” pop up. So nice to open a web page and just have web page come up without being forced to attend to pop up before being able to interact with page!!! Thank you 😀

The extension reliably blocks banners in the browser on Reddit, but on Duolingo the bottom ‘Open in App’ pop-ups are not removed. Works partially, so I can only give 3 stars.

Was so excited, and $6 would be totally worth it, but alas… nada.

From the app description: --- “NOTE: Even with Banish, Smart Banners can still appear at the top of apps you have installed. They can’t be removed because they’re built into Safari.” This is buried as the very *last* entry on the list, and you won’t see it if you don’t open the “more” link and go all the way to the bottom. Don’t overlook it and make the same mistake I did.

This extension really affect on performance of your device and crash some sites. So, easily don't use it and wait fix. Это расширение действительно влияет на производительность вашего устройства и ломает некоторые сайты. Лучше не использовать его и ждать исправление.
