StopTheMadness Mobile 4+

The essential fix for broken browsers

I’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!

It FIXES web sites

Contrary 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.

It breaks websites

It’s more than an ad blocker but it doesn’t block ads, it stops anti functionality by breaking websites. Like the send button on kijiji message or the rest of their menu icons go blank. This is just one example, what does this program do? Go to YouTube and fiddle around with the “preserve functionality “ only to find out YouTube website puts the stuff anywhere with little concern to this app. I honestly don’t know what it does for 13 bucks. You can get cheaper amp apps. That do just that, every app developer is trying to make a Swiss Army knife and they aren’t even Swiss. Jack of all trades master of none. Im sure it does it’s amp blocking just fine, but all the extra features are there to increase the value of the app without adding anything.

Developer Response ,

This review is absurd. (1) StopTheMadness is not "more than an ad blocker", it's not an ad blocker at all. The description says specifically that it's not an ad blocker, in order to avoid confusion, so I'm not sure why the reviewer is introducing this confusion. (2) "YouTube website puts the stuff anywhere with little concern to this app." What does that even mean? The reviewer is rambling, but nobody can understand. (3) The reviewer never contacted support about any issues. I'm happy to help customers with an issue if they just contact me. (4) Why did the reviewer buy this app if all they wanted was an AMP blocker? The reviewer seems to not know what the features are — the features that are listed in the App Store description — yet the reviewer still spent the money for some strange reason, and is now experiencing buyer's remorse? I don't get it. Anyway, you can visit reportaproblem.apple.com to get an App Store refund if the app is not what you wanted.
