Is there a Safari extension or something that will block the Javascript modal popups that are now ubiquitous (soliciting mailing list signups)?



Failing that, are there extensions that will simply block sites that utilize these modal popups? I'm ok with any of these options:



  1. Block the modal popup

  2. Close the tab immediately if a popup happens

  3. Block/remove the site from search results

There are so many sites these days that I have no reason to spend time on a site that utilizes popups. I'd rather not know they even exist so if an extension can remove them from DuckDuckGo results that would be outstanding.

  • @ankiiiiiii How you might fight it on Safari for mac and safari for iOS will differ quite dramatically. I’ve asked the OP to provide a specific site so we all can be more clear what is being asked. Blocking everything is clearly not possible - it comes down to specific implementations how I see it. Of course, feel free to answer any way you see forward. There can be many answers here and even a wrong answer (perhaps mine is wrong) can still help others.

...are there extensions that will simply block sites that utilize
these modal popups?




The problem here is that they are not pop-ups as what you are traditionally used to. They are basically HTML elements that are overlayed over the parent HTML document.



Block the modal popup



What makes this extremely difficult to block is that site functionality may depend on it. Some modals may contain nonsense while others might have important information (i.e. shopping cart, contact form, etc.)



Chrome/Firefox has a plugin called Behind the Overlay but results are spotty at best. I don't know of any for Safari.



Closing the tab



This really wouldn't be workable since this isn't a popup of a new window/tab - it's an HTML element in the same document. Closing the tab would close out the whole session on that webpage.



Block site from search results



This is a function of the search engine and not of Safari. Most HTML 5 compliant sites now use these modals so blocking the sites would be counter productive. However, if there is a site you wish to ignore because of their use of modals, you can exclude it in your search query (Bing, Google, DuckDuckGo)

  • Astute observations about how little control HTML and JS give us. Even less ability to get a search engine to not show results that are relevant to the content as opposed to annoyance factor. I think we have to collectively pay people to go on the offense with content blockers.

I’m a huge fan of a couple paid content blockers on iOS. On Mac, there’s a clear winner in my book - Stop The Madness.

There is a free trial if you are not sure it’s well worth your spare change. Ghostery used to be good as well, but I’m all in on paid blockers for iOS and macOS. It does many things in addition to suppressing email pop ups, giving you back control of bloated and even some not bloated sites.
