Vidimote gives you fine control over videos you find on the web. I’ve enjoyed using this extension so much on my iPhone and iPad that I installed it on my Macs too. Super Agent works in the background doing nothing but handling the acceptance of cookie policies automatically on your behalf. Super AgentĬookie permission forms are an antiquated annoyance that do very little to protect user privacy, but they’re required by law in many countries and have begun spreading more and more to the US and other countries. Also, when a native app is available on your device, Overamped will open that instead of an AMP or Yandex Turbo link. Overamped is similar to Amplosion, but it handles Yandex Turbo URLs the same way it handles AMP URLs. If you’re curious how many AMP links you’ve avoided with the app, you can open the main app to see and while you’re there, play with Lord Waffles, a pixel art dog who lives in Amplosion and pick one of the many alternative icons the app offers. You can also add sites to an ‘Allow’ list if you want to permit AMP links on certain sites. Amplosion works in the background when enabled, swapping AMP links with the website’s canonical URL. The font size in the popover is configurable too.ĪMP is Google’s cached URL system that’s designed to speed up the mobile web but often ruins website functionality and junks up URLs. In addition to displaying a site’s HTML in a popover, Achoo lets you edit a webpage’s content or share the site’s HTML with another app. Developer Tools and Extensions to Fix Website Annoyances Achoo and Amplosionīoth from Apollo developer Christian Selig, Achoo lets you inspect the HTML of a webpage, while Amplosion blocks Google search results from offering AMP URLs and redirects AMP links you tap or click to the canonical URL. Once it’s enabled, every new tab you open defaults to a Momentum start page. Unlike some of the other extensions in this roundup, Momentum doesn’t require any interaction. I’ve signed up for a year to see how it goes and will report back after I’ve had more time to see how well a widgetized start page integrates into my workday. Inspirational quotes and a mantra are available too, but those aren’t really my thing, so I haven’t tried them.īasic functionality is free, but for $40/year adds the more powerful customizations and integrations. You can also play soundscapes as you work, search the web, add notes, and set a daily ‘focus’ to help keep you on track with your goals. What I like about Momentum is I can open a new tab and immediately see a beautiful photo from the service’s collection or that I upload myself, the time, a countdown to important upcoming events, the time in other parts of the world, the weather, my Todoist tasks for the day, a collection of links, and more. Between research, writing, and various services we use to run MacStories, I spend a large part of my day in Safari. If you spend most of your time in Safari, Momentum, which creates a beautiful, customizable start page, is worth a look.
As a fan of dark mode, this is already one of my most-used extensions, especially on my iPad Pro. Even better, there’s a keyboard shortcut making it easy to cycle between Noir’s options for every website you visit with a connected keyboard.
Tap the Noir’s icon in the address bar, and you can switch between the app’s global setting, Auto, which follows your system settings, On, or Off. Those are all global settings, but you can apply Noir on a website-by-website basis too. You can even use Noir’s dark mode instead of a site’s existing dark mode if you like it better. You can set Noir to follow your system settings or to be on or off full-time. The color scheme has worked exceptionally well on all the sites I’ve tried. I love Noir’s tasteful handling of dark mode.
With Noir, that doesn’t happen because the extension can apply a dark mode to sites that don’t have their own. Far too often, when I’m reading late at night with the lights off, I tap on a Times link and get blinded by its bright white background. A good example is The New York Times and Vulture, which is pictured above. Too many websites don’t offer a dark mode. Before (left) and after (right) Noir applies its dark mode
