Safari Extensions

Description of App

Banish is an ultra-efficient Safari Extension that removes annoying "Open in App" banners and other dark patterns on the web. Block annoying popups and save valuable screen real estate!

PRIVATE
Banish does not collect or store any of your data - nothing leaves your device.

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.

TINY
The app download is about one megabyte.

FAQ
Q: Why am I still seeing banners at the top?
A: On some websites, banners will still appear at the top if you have those apps installed. They can't be removed because they're built into Safari. To get rid of those, uninstall those apps.

Accessibility Comments

There's nothing to cause accessibility issues here - you simply enable the extension in Safari and leave the extension to do what it needs to.

If you want to report a problem with a website - such as a popup not being blocked - the extension takes you to a simple and accessible Google form to submit it.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

All buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver and is easy to navigate and use.

Other Comments

Anything which cuts down on the annoying popups and messages that often get in the way of VoiceOver has to be a good thing.

$2 well spent in my opinion.
