StopTheMadness Mobile for Positive User Reviews
✓ Great but oh wellGreat app , great functionality but unfortunately it broke the web more then it helped , amazon picture slider doesn’t slide , some menus in other websites just doesn’t open or slide to open , some websites when i click on links on them just open a tab on the same page and it doesn’t redirect me to the link i clicked and just copy same page tabs every single click . But still for those who this worked its great . Kinda feels safari faster without it atm ..Version: 16.2
✓ Stops the auto play videosVideos still chase me, but at least they’re not autoplaying!.Version: 2.4
✓ Total gem!The macOS version of this app may be my favorite piece of software so I’m thrilled to have it on iOS too. Possibly the best deal in the AppStore. (Glowing review notwithstanding, I am not in any way affiliated with developer—aside from being a huge fan.) Seriously: a great deal for a great app..Version: 1.1
✓ Just perfect!!!!!!I gladly laid out the money for the macOS bundle and the iOS/iPadOS version. Incredibly smart utility, and thank heavens it is offered as an actual purchase and not subscription. It’s so out of hand, and yet it seems everyone is giving into it. Not the developer of this app!!!! He deserves everyone’s support for putting something out there that should be there to begin with but isn’t. Thank you, Jeff, for being smart enough to give us these utilities!!!.Version: 11.1
✓ Worth every pennyVery happy I found this extension. You make a great product Jeff!.Version: 10.0
✓ The essential fix for broken browsersI’ve been using STM (desktop and mobile) since forever. Combine it with with a decent ad and tracker blocker and find yourself back in the good old days of web browsing. It works on Safari, Firefox and Chrome. The documentation is clear, the settings are easy to manage and the developer will help you out with any problems at the drop of a hat. You really can’t get any better way to Stop The Madness!.Version: 7.3
✓ Awesome AppMakes Safari so much better to use. Takes back control and stops websites forcing annoying behaviours on your browsing. Superb developer, regularly updated and worth every penny..Version: 14.1
✓ Works a treat!Update to original review: Jeff has turned this from a great app to an absolutely fantastic app, continuous updates to improve and add features show his commitment to the project. The recent addition of an element blocker is the best implementation of this I’ve seen yet. Far better than how 1Blocker or Adguard do element blocking, and much easier for a non-techy end user to use. Having settings easily transferrable via iCloud is great for those with many Apple products, although maybe a ‘iCloud sync’ option would be an even option. One of the best extensions to bring control back to you. Don’t be out off by the App Store warnings that this app can read passwords, private information and other scary stuff, Apple apply this to all extensions and the simple truth is, it doesn’t do any of the scary stuff that is insinuated!! (I’ve read Jeff’s blog on this, so thought I’d mention it here as it might help him)….. Anyway, take back control over the many idiotic things that some websites try and force you into by downloading this app, it’s an absolute ‘must have’ extension for Safari and you’re missing out by not having it. One final point, to those whining about paying twice for the iOS/iPad and macOS variants, the dev’s time needs paying for and no doubt he’ll have bills to pay and mouths to feed…. Remember, if it’s free, then you and your data are the product, so you’re paying with your privacy. Original review: Great app, allows all manner of things to be turned on, turned off, over-ridden and generally improves iOS safari in many ways! Well worth the initial cost to be able to use a video site in the background alone! We’ve had a few updates recently that have added more functionality as well. Happy user here. Cheers..Version: 17.1
✓ Can’t live without itThis app keeps getting better and better, especially with the « prevent most banners from popping up » and native video controls! And all the other good, sanity-restoring stuff..Version: 5.0
✓ Wish I had found this sooner.I could list endless superlatives for the app and the dev. A small bit of the hope for what the internet could have become is restored. Thank you. I even bought the dev’s apps that I didn’t need just to support the effort..Version: 14.0
✓ Works as advertisedTested and works.Version: 1.1
✓ Mostly invisible, but with noticeable performance improvementsI would very much consider myself a power-user of Safari. I shudder when yet another website suggests I download their app (who doesn’t have enough apps?). When I check battery usage, Safari is high and by far my #1 culprit, previously taking up 60-70% of my phone’s 10-day battery usage. That said, while most of the privacy enhancements of this app work invisibly in the background, one thing I’ve noticed as a major Safari user is increased battery life. Not a whole lot, but I feel like my phone’s battery stretches another 5-10% a day. Safari drains way less of my weekly battery life now and is down to around 40-50% of total battery use over the past 10 days. It’s a small price to pay to make your browsing experience much more efficient. By blocking invisible trackers and cutting out needless JavaScript, you considerably streamline the performance of your browser and that has left me one happy customer..Version: 2.6
✓ Love it!Just purchased (thank you for one-time fee!) and already loving it. For example, it stops those horrible auto-play videos on Instagram. Also, website browsing seems faster. I’ll no doubt come back later to give more examples of how fantastic this new Safari browser extension is!.Version: 14.1
✓ It works!I really wish the UX/UI was easier to understand without reading the long help page. Maybe the developer could add some hints ( like hit return to add a custom site; or nothing happens). But overall this is a power user Safari extension..Version: 1.7
✓ Working greatPlease fix “stop keyboard page zoom” because it does not work. Thank you..Version: 17.8
✓ Amazing customer serviceI thought I’d gotten a lemon if an app, but the attentive customer service tells me this app has room to grow and customer service willing to help you understand whatever you don’t. Best customer service from any app hands down..Version: 6.1
✓ From great to amazing - outstanding developerThis is an example of an app that keeps delivering after you buy it. The developer has done a great job up-keeping and adding features over time..Version: 7.4
✓ Great extensionThis Safari extension improves your browsing experience by addressing numerous design flaws, making it a valuable addition to your browser. Worth the price.Version: 14.0
✓ A long overdue programThis app is a long overdue tool against a increasingly and frustratingly more than ever monetized user hostile internet.Version: 2.3
✓ Rebel alliance! Resist digital tyranny!5 stars for saving my time clicking ‘no thanks’ to the common digital dictators many times a day. The mentality their CEO’s have puts the time and energy of the common user in jeopardy for cheap profits that do no one any good, so thank you so much for doing what I couldn’t. I tried creating .css and .js files to fix it myself but didn’t work and it was well worth paying someone who knows what they’re doing and updates it amazingly, so all power to the indie developer who helps the common man in the fight against (essentially) the modern war: the digital front waged against the privacy, time and energy of the people Versus nefarious corporate greed, which will stop at nothing to leech off our attention to shove ads, paywalls, cookies and loyalty programs in our faces. The war is on!.Version: 17.3
✓ GreatFor me, stopping videos from automatically playing is by itself well worth the price..Version: 1.5
✓ EssentialJust get this essential tool and save yourself a lot of headache when browsing the web. The “modern” web is a trash heap of marketing managers’ bad ideas, and intrusive tracking and analytics nonsense topped with an unhealthy dose of annoyance. This tool helps bring a little sanity back. For a little while at least..Version: 13.2
✓ WorksI had left a crummy review because I didn’t really understand how the app operates. It actually does a lot of what it claims..Version: 10.3
✓ I never leave reviews but…This extension is amazing. One of my favorite websites to go to is Pitchfork.com and the music website ironically stops my music playing whenever I’m on the website. This app solved that ongoing issue. One of my best purchased apps.Version: 7.1
✓ Wish it could block Subscribe to email popupsWorks pretty well, I would love an option to block pops from websites asking you to Subscribe to their newsletters..Version: 17.0
✓ IndispensableThis Safari extension fixes so many annoyances I’ve had with Safari on iPadOS/iOS it’s unreal. It really enhances the experience of using Safari on iPad. It’s an impressive little app and it offers excellent value with regard to bang for buck. Regular updates and a simple and clean UI to boot..Version: 16.2
✓ Great serviceThere was a bug that I reported and the developer Jeff got back to me right away and fixed the issue very quickly. Great service.Version: 2.3
✓ Not sure how to report thisOn my iPhone 12 Pro Max the “stop keyboard page zoom” function is not working on safari….Version: 10.1
✓ Superb extension, really stops the madness!Works as advertised; makes the web sane again. Feedback for developer - please consider making this extension open source to ensure long-term development. Also please consider a freemium revenue model (like for example AdGuard) to increase adoption. Cheers!.Version: 10.2
✓ Very powerful and versatile extensionThis extension is invaluable for reclaiming Safari’s inherently third rate browser security and functionality. I would recommend his stop the script app too if you really wanna stick it to those evil sneak scripting websites..Version: 7.1
✓ Madness successfully stoppedI didn’t realize how bad web browsing has gotten until using this browser extension. Thank you! Great purchase..Version: 15.1
✓ Just amazing all around!This app really takes care of a lot; the developer continually updates it as well. I’m always seeing new things added or small bugs corrected. I personally haven’t experienced any bugs, but you can be sure that if you ever do they will be ironed out. This developer works actively on this app; the continued updates and support it receives is very reassuring. I look forward to seeing what else comes to this app. In a world of free to download, but pay to subscribe apps I find it hard to actually purchase something outright. Kind of weird, because that’s how everything used to be; purchase and own is objectively better anyway. If an upfront cost is stopping you, rest assured it’s a safe bet..Version: 16.2
✓ Bye bye AMP!!So excited to be done with Google amp links. All of the other privacy features are really excellent to have as well. Will probably have to get this for my Mac now too..Version: 1.1
✓ AwesomeNot going to write an essay here, just going to say that this is one of the best privacy apps I’ve found. Simple to set up and it just works..Version: 17.2
✓ Can’t browse without it nowWhenever I accidentally browse the web without StopTheMadness installed on a system, I am immediately frustrated by how much worse it is. This extension is just as important as, if not even more than, an adblocker to using the web in this era of awful banners and terrible abuses of web APIs..Version: 11.0
✓ Kills autoplay videos DEAD!!!STM has a lot of great features, but for me-by FAR-the single most compelling feature is the one which prevents videos from autoplaying. why Apple have refused to bring this feature to Mobile Safari is beyond me, but now i don’t have to care! huzzah!.Version: 10.0
✓ Works as advertisedBought this purely to block Facebook tracking URLs that are opened in Safari. Works perfectly. Well worth the money..Version: 2.6
✓ I love being able to see changes in realtimeGotta say I really like this extension; it doesn't do anything shady like "phoning home" (soooo many other apps do) and it's chock-full of handy little quality of life tools to quickly get rid of common annoyances. Great for when trying to do stuff on a small screen. I also really appreciate how interactive most of the features are so I can just click on things instead of trying to remember a bunch of code. Don't like that annoying thing on a website? Just click the element hider then click the eyesore. Done. You even get to see a preview of your actions along with an easy menu to fine-tune your choice. Between this extension, Web Inspector, and UserScripts - I'm pretty much set..Version: 17.2
✓ Well worth the costSo glad there are still good developers out there who aren’t greedy scammers and parasites. This extension is truly amazing. It fixes so many things that Apple or other companies and websites refuse to fix and mitigates ‘features’ they add that ultimately ruin the experience. It’s brought back the fun and novelty of being online again. Seriously amazing job by the developer. Cannot state that enough—thank you!.Version: 14.2
✓ Must buy!This is a must buy. Incredible support, works great, and makes the internet more enjoyable. Best of all, no subscription!!.Version: 6.0
✓ Auto play disabled 😈Lovin’ my new browsing experience!.Version: 7.3
✓ Great Safari ExtensionThis app provides controls to Safari that are available with non-iOS browsers. I highly recommend it. (Apple neuters all other browsers in the Apple App Store. Can't wait for the EU to force Apple to allow access to other app stores.).Version: 6.1
✓ It’s good on desktop, it’s good on iPhoneNothing much more to say. Forces annoying videos with custom built html5 crap to use native video player, allows saving of images, gets rid of annoying crap in general. Must have and well worth the price of a (big) coffee..Version: 7.3
✓ 5/5 makes mobile web browsing feel good againI not only use this extension for myself, but have set it up for my family members as well. Does the job of many other individual extensions, but in one app! A quality app that’s well worth it. If my prior low star review is still up, it can be disregarded as I thought I was reviewing some subscription game 🙈.Version: 13.1
✓ It FIXES web sitesContrary to what another review said, STM does not break web sites. It fixes them. It eliminates a wide variety of annoyances, including some that other extensions only eliminate one by one, for a total expense that is much higher. It does have a few more “experimental” features that might not work right for everyone, but those are clearly labelled as such and are never on by default. If you have any issues, don’t write a lousy review. Contact the developer and he’ll help you figure it out..Version: 7.1
✓ THANK YOUModern web design is so user-hostile. I want to open a website without being tracked or bombarded with autoplaying videos..Version: 17.6
✓ Worth every penny!I’ve used this extension on my Mac for a while and couldn’t be happier to see it come to iOS / iPadOS! Take my money! Thank you for this extension!.Version: 1.4
✓ GreatI know this app is way dank but honesty dont know what half the features do rllylol wish more explanation was given.Version: 8.0
✓ Amazing Developer ResponseI emailed the dev with a request to add a feature to override the zoom settings of a website and within a week he had implemented it in the extension and it works perfectly. 5 stars easy!.Version: 2.0
✓ 💯 IndispensableI can’t recommend this app more highly. It makes the web more usable in so many ways. Well worth the money. Very much looking forward to whatever features are to come!.Version: 10.0
✓ FINALLY! Something that really truly works to stop video autoplay!I have tried EVERYTHING in the past to stop ESPN from autoplaying their darn videos when I just want to read the article. And StopTheMadness did it! Super easy, and I didn’t need to give this extension permission to everything in the world just to block this one very annoying website. Yeah, this cost a few bucks to buy, but easily worth every penny for solving my problem after years of annoyance. Thank you!!!.Version: 9.2
✓ Unique Outstanding Design App!Well I am out taking a walk to get some fresh air, but my ole Bones feels it’s time to take a break and talk about this great outstanding Design App that the Developer has created for you myself and our family. Never thought Security would be so important today, but Crooks have created words like Scam Spoof and so on! They are not stupid they change things hoping to get your money and Identity. The Developer put this unique Software into play to help us stop the Fraud that Hits us everyday. The Developer has put a great deal of time hard work and dedication that I would call loyalty and love into this Software! How do I know look at the number of updates that has been made to keep up with the Crooks in the World! I hope if you have taken the opportunity and time to read this you will Download this Unique Outstanding Design App! What do you have to loose ( maybe more than the time it took to Download the App! ) Well it’s time for this ole man to get on with my walk so Mr. Developer I Truly Appreciate this Unique Outstanding Design App and I Tip My Hat 🎩 to You and say “Thanks “..Version: 16.2
✓ Makes the web less annoyingThere are so many questionable decisions web developers make. Custom video controls with a full screen button that doesn’t actually go full screen… “get the app” nag bars… click and scroll hijacking… The list is endless. StopTheMadness can’t fix everything, but it has a jolly good go at it. It just sits in the background quietly taking little irritations away so that I never have to think about them, making me a happier person..Version: 17.2
✓ Finally stop video auto play!This extension is worth every single penny because it is the only method I’ve found that actually stops websites from auto-playing videos. I realize a lot of people like watching videos all day long and want them autoplaying. I am not one of those people. I’m sure this extension has other useful features that I’ll eventually discover, but finally stopping auto play was the primary reason I was willing to spend money. Very satisfied..Version: 6.0
✓ Just AwesomeThis works great. Well worth it..Version: 3.1
✓ A Must have app for those with limited DataThe extension stops automatic video ads on websites. I had tried plenty of other apps but none of them worked..Version: 10.3
✓ Doesn’t block Google result tracking linksThe first thing I tested in this browser extension was the Google search results redirect tracking. It doesn’t work at all. Enable the extension follow all the instructions and do a Google search. Now long press on a result link and you will see that you cannot copy the link without getting the Google redirect. Furthermore, clicking the link shows that the Google redirect is still active since you can watch your browser going to Google before it goes to the result page. This was the only reason that I bought this extension. Perhaps it works for other use cases. I will still leave a good rating since the author of this app contacted me immediately when I complained about this..Version: 7.0
✓ Finally! This stops auto play videos!I watch YouTube on pip or in background and half the sites pause YT for their auto play vids. Hate it! This appears to stop them. You have to enable the extension in Settings…AND then click on the puzzle button in Safari’s search bar and click “Allow Stop the Madness”. Then scroll down and enable “Stop Autoplay”. It’s not enabled automatically, ironic....Version: 6.0
✓ Top hit app for iPhoneThank you to your response and am giving this beautiful app a 5 star for its development stop the madness and stop the script very highly recommended thank you god bless you wisdom..Version: 14.1
