Recently, I was tossing browser extensions and found a tool called StopTheMadness, which claims to "give you a normal browser". It's quite interesting to read the introduction. I would like to ask if you have used it and how is your experience?
Brief introduction:
• Function: Remove the website's restrictions on copying, pasting, right-click menu, shortcut keys, etc.
• Privacy protection: Block tracking links, automatically play videos, and hide annoying pop-ups.
• Customization: Supports injecting custom JS/CSS and setting website rules.
• Compatibility: Supports Safari, Chrome and Firefox. 
🤔 Want to understand:
• Have you encountered compatibility issues?
• Which websites work best on?
• Are there any alternatives recommended?
Welcome to share your experience and opinions!

Anonymous13756 Apr 29, 2025It is highly rated abroad (such as on r/macapps), so it is not a loss to buy and try. StopTheMadness implements some tinkers for Safari, but some minor fixes exceed what JS/CSS can do, and you may find yourself unable to live without any of its functions. I bought StopTheMadness very early, but after using it for a while, I didn't feel that I couldn't do without any function at all, so I stopped using it. I didn't buy the StopTheMadness Pro that came out later. Now, my Safari, as the main browser, is lightweight, without any plug-ins, and occasionally I open Chrome to meet special needs.
