Remember when the web used to be fun? You could visit websites and not be continually assaulted by an array of annoying distractions while trying to read stuff. Fortunately, help is at hand from the StopTheMadness Pro web extension (£14.99, underpassapp.com).
Once the extension has been enabled in Safari, or another web browser on your Mac (it’s also available for iPhone and iPad), it can be used to tailor your web browsing experience while also boosting your privacy by stopping link trackers. Those annoying autoplaying videos can be stopped in their tracks too, web page elements hidden, and disabled interface options (such as contextual menus) re-enabled. It will even fast-forward through YouTube adverts at lightning speed so you can get straight to watching the videos you want. A pull-down menu can be brought up with a raft of settings so you can fine-tune what is shown or not by default, or for specific websites, and sync the settings via iCloud for all your devices.
