Jeff, its developer, probably knows about as much about the Mac and web services as anyone that I know – you’ll see a string of his valuable comments through my Mac articles here.
I don’t understand how StopTheMadness does its job. And I haven’t seen any tracking ads for, well, since I installed Better. When I want to copy or use Safari’s contextual menu, StopTheMadness just works as you’d expect. The trouble with them both is that they’re so good at their jobs that I no longer notice how much they do for me: like all the best extensions, they just get on with it. The first is Jeff Johnson’s unique StopTheMadness, which fixes all those blocked features, and Better, which protects my privacy from trackers. I only use two Safari extensions now, both of which I strongly recommend. I’m not in the least averse to regular ads, and understand how many sites need their revenue, but so many sites now, even UK government services like the Met Office, feed a ludicrous number of tracking services. Two things upset me about many websites: their blocking normal Mac features like contextual menus, autocomplete and copy, and tracking.
