StopTheMadness is an extension for Safari, Firefox, Google Chrome, and Chromium browsers that stops web sites from making your browser harder to use. And it protects your privacy on the web. StopTheMadness is not an ad blocker: it offers unique features not available from ad blockers or any other apps. StopTheMadness is one of a kind!

Made by indie developer Jeff Johnson. The support link has documentation and my email address.

Many web sites deliberately disable user interface features in your browser that you normally expect to work. StopTheMadness re-enables those features for you in your browser:
• ⌘-click and middle-click to open a link in a new tab
• ⌘-key keyboard shortcuts
• opening contextual menus
• selecting, copying, cutting, and pasting of text
• drag and drop
• AutoFill/autocomplete of passwords, emails, etc.

StopTheMadness also protects your privacy on the web:
• Removes tracking tags such as utm_source, gclid, and fbclid from the end of URLs.
• Stops clickjacking in Google Search, Gmail, Facebook, and DuckDuckGo.
• Stops hyperlink auditing by removing the anchor "ping" attribute on link clicks.
• Stops tracking beacons (Navigator.sendBeacon).
• Stops sites from using the Page Visibility API to know when a tab is visible on your screen.

Bonus Features:
• Stop videos from autoplaying. This works even on sites where the browsers autoplay preferences dont work.
• Automatically skip YouTube video ads.
• Show native video controls. Use AirPlay or Picture-in-Picture from Safari on sites that dont normally support it.
• Automatically select web video speed.
• Automatically select video quality on YouTube.
• Font replacement. Substitute one font for another on web pages.
• Add your own site-specific CSS and JavaScript to web pages.
• Custom URL redirects.
• Stops "Are you sure you want to leave this page?" alerts. Close your tabs without getting stopped by the site.
• Force links to open in the current tab instead of a new tab. Remove target="_blank" from links so that they no longer automatically create a new tab.
• Force links to open in a new tab instead of the current tab. This is great if youre scrolling through a list of links and want to open each one in a new tab.
• Force images to the front. Bypass the transparent overlay on sites such as Instagram that prevents you from dragging and opening the contextual menu on images.
• Warns when you paste or type beyond the maximum length in a password field or other text field. Stops you from accidentally losing characters. (Feature not available in Firefox.)
• ⌘-c to copy link URL on hover. Much easier than opening the contextual menu. Also ⌘-x to copy link title on hover.
• ⌘-delete on hover to delete any HTML element on the page. If something is in your way, temporarily remove it.
• Stop ⌘-left-arrow from unexpectedly sending you back to the previous page in your browsing history.
• Stop scrolljacking.
• Stop sites from using JavaScript to track the movement of your mouse pointer.

Safari-specific Features:
• Stops URL shorteners. Checks the links you click in Safari for well-known link shorteners — bit.ly, tinyurl.com, t.co (used by Twitter), etc. — and loads the unshortened destination URL instead of the shortened URL. This occurs without setting any cookies or other site data, so you cant be tracked by your click.
• Stop Safari from automatically submitting login forms. AutoFill login forms and then make changes such as checking "Remember Me" or take CAPTCHA tests before submitting.
• Automatically open clicked links in other apps. You can specify rules in StopTheMadness such as open https://docs.google.com links in Google Chrome. Or even dont open https://facebook.com links at all, to keep you from accidentally opening Facebook.
• ⌘-v when hovering over a link to open the link with the app selected in the "Open Link with" popup.
• Open links with an alternative browser from Safaris contextual menu.
• Copy link title from Safaris contextual menu.
