In 2019, I began writing a bit concerning the various things I used to be utilizing to make my on-line expertise a extra personal (as a result of I, like lots of you, assume privateness is necessary 🙂).
Although I’ve not written a lot about since then, I have discovered a few utilities that I exploit to assist my shopping expertise. Although they don’t essentially slot in with issues you might discover in my articles on privateness, they nonetheless assist with sure issues which are merely annoying.
Listed here are are a few Safari extensions that I’ve discovered helpful to have put in on iOS when shopping the online.
Safari Extensions: Twitter and Nags
🐦 Tweaks for Twitter
Tweaks for Twitter is a Safari extension (effectively, technically it runs in different browsers, too!) that turns off a lot of the issues that make Twitter annoying (no, I’m not speaking about whoever you’re following that’s at all times tweeting concerning the stuff you hate – that’s as much as you do unfollow).
Tweaks for Twitter is an internet browser extension that improves the consumer interface of twitter.com in some ways.
For instance, this removes promoted tweets, hover playing cards, “See extra tweets from,” after which that little insert that Twitter reveals the place its “Adopted by others you observe.”
It will get Twitter as near again to fundamentals because it was as soon as upon a time.
🛑 Banish
In brief, Banish is a Safari extension that hides or removes these annoying pop-ups that present on websites like Reddit that say “Open this in [our dedicated app] for extra!”
An ultra-efficient Safari Extension that blocks annoying ‘Open in App’ popups & different darkish patterns on the net.
No thanks, please. I’d moderately simply keep within the browser and never obtain yet one more factor, particularly if it’s an internet wrapper. (And if it’s going to be Reddit, Apollo has your again anyway.)
Be aware these work on iOS and macOS however I spend lots of time in different browsers on my desktop for improvement work. However for shopping on any machine, these work nice.
Extra To Come
After I was writing frequently, I loved sharing among the issues I used to be utilizing even when it wasn’t explicitly about improvement. Not solely do I feel it helped floor issues that I discovered by others, it additionally helped to others proceed to share issues that I discover helpful.
Possibly this can do extra of the identical.
