Press Command-C while the pointer hovers over a link and StopTheMadness copies the link without “touching” it (clicking) Command-X copies the link’s title. One feature I can’t recall ever seeing in any other browser extension: hovering over links and using keyboard shortcuts for actions. StopTheMadness has a lot of nice little touches around the edges that may delight you as you discover them.
SAFARI TECHNOLOGY PREVIEW IMAGE NOT RECOGNIZED INSTALL
The app lets you install the extension across four other major browsers in macOS. The extension also removes certain kinds of well-known tracking variables you may have seen, like utm_source, which gets around the suppression of referring URL data enabled by the increased use of secured HTTPS connections to Web servers. Your click then sends you directly to the destination. StopTheMadness expands shortened URLs in a sandbox that avoids disclosing any information about you or your browser until the ultimate actual URL is retrieved. For instance, many sites use a variety of common URL shorteners to avoid revealing the kind of information they have embedded into the link to track your actions.
While the extension focused on letting you seize back control of page loading and actions, it also provides a variety of methods to disable unwanted tracking via URLs and clicking. If a site has its own custom contextual menu, you can hold down Option to reveal it instead of Safari’s without any special configuration. That can be useful if you’re not having problems generally and want to add “bad actors” as specially configured cases or the opposite, where your choices work almost everywhere, but you need to add exceptions for some sites. But you get to choose and can rejigger the choices that aren’t reliable.
