Description

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

Incompatibilities

Unfortunately it causes issues with many sites, one thing I recently encountered was with Instagram (login with 2FA).

Used to work great, now locking up on Reddit.

Edit: Works perfectly again! Thanks! Original Review: This app used to work great, blocking the annoying “open in Reddit app” pop-up. It still does that, but as of a few weeks ago, it’s started locking up the screen so that you can’t scroll down on Reddit unless you zoom in so that the page doesn’t fit the screen anymore. It’s made the app essentially unusable, and I’ve had to disable it and deal with the Reddit pop-up. Please update the app to address this issue!

Breaks Reddit but at least the developers responsive

Even after you’ve updated the app it’s still breaking Reddit.com for me. It’s ok, I’ve given up trying to make this app work for me and will leave uninstalled.

App updated.

No Refunds for App that Doesn’t Work

ejdncnaisnc ens on

Downloaded the app to avoid issues with Facebook, Yelp, Google, and LinkedIn. On the rare chance the app actually blocked anything, it would make the webpage completely empty and unreadable. After trying to make it work for an hour, I accepted that the app simply does not work, but turns out you cannot even request a same-day refund for this unusable product. Highly recommend that others look elsewhere for a solution, as if the company truly believed the product worked, they’d offer at the bare minimum same-day refunds.

Works with Google again!

Thank you for fixing the Google aspect. This app appears to work again on Google. Unfortunately this app seems to break Reddit. Scrolling through Reddit and clicking on links does not work.

Worth its weight in gold.

I found this app while searching for a way to make searching the internet less annoying and more efficient. I am so glad that I paid the very reasonable fee for this app. It has delivered exactly what it advertised with extremely easy set up. Great app, I highly recommend it.

Blocks safari

Used to love this app but it now makes it impossible to browse Reddit on safari

Waste of $2.99

petersvendsenn on

United States

This app is completely useless. It does not block any of those “open in app” popups, or anything at all for that matter. Don’t waste your money. I wish I could get my $2.99 back.
