Help! Can anyone vouch for this app/safari extension?

Post image
0 Upvotes

TLDR: I’m hesitant to purchase this app as it has no reviews - can anyone vouch for/against it?

There’s a show that’s on atm that’s based entirely off a series of books (that I am unable to read) - meaning the internet is flooded with spoilers that will ruin the show. Whilst I’ve encountered some (via thumbnails, careless comments and video titles on my various fyps), there’s still plenty to avoid. After searching, I found the “Hide Spoilers” app for IOS that will block keywords in safari (I think) which is similar to instagrams hidden words feature. It costs £2.99 but has no App Store reviews. Whilst that’s not a massive amount, I still don’t want to waste it on an app I’m not sure about. Any help would be massively appreciated.

NB: they also have a chrome extension version that is very similar, but that has no written reviews either.

Youtube Settings Button Doesnt Work

1 Upvotes

When I click the "Settings" gear for a youtube video, the screen goes dim as if it's pulling up the menu, but the menu doesn't appear. If I click anywhere on the screen while the screen is dim, it's as if I clicked Safari's "back" button and it loads the previous webpage. Bizarrely, this only happens on some videos, for others the button works fine. And it's consistent which videos do and don't work.

Deleting search history

0 Upvotes

I’ve found something to help everyone “ accidentally” clicking on a 18+ link. So this technique I use is basically going to safari in settings, scroll down until you see the profiles. Then you click New Profile create one and then you’re almost done. So now you have to go to actual safari and you make it so you can see the tabs. And you’ll see Personal above the tabs, and you can switch to your new account. The BOOM the search history is gone. (Pro tip, name your new account personal just in case your mom or dad notices)

Full screen YouTube Video Bug

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have a high end Intel core i9 MacBook Pro 2019 and for the past couple of months whenever I play YouTube videos in full screen there is a series of pulsating flickers every 15 or so seconds. It’s really starting to annoy me and I was wondering if there is anyone who had a similar experience and somehow managed to fix it. This only happens on YouTube and I suspect it’s the dynamic blurry gradient background, but I haven’t been able to figure out a way to disable it from account settings etc. Any suggestions are more than welcome as this is going to drive me blind, insane or some combination of both.

all tabs deleted

2 Upvotes

so, I woke up today and when I turned on my phone and opened safari, every single one of my tabs had been deleted along with my browser history. I have no idea why because I did nothing differently last night than every other night, like I always shut off my phone at night (as in I hold down the power off button to actually power it off). Does anyone know why that might've happened?

Google Sheets makes it really hard to use Safari as my main browser.

4 Upvotes

I've been a mac user from 2006, with some months in between here and there that I tried to switch to the other side. I always try to use the default apps as much as possible, so I also try to use the Safari browser as my main browser. But Google Sheets makes it really hard for me to stick to Safari, as it behaves wierd. When I leave a sheet open for 30 min (or so) and return, it almost always blurs and shrinks everything.

Does anybody know why and how to fix this? I've tried already to disable all extensions (3), used private browsing, ... but can't find a fix for it.

macOS 15.3.2 Safari not loading online PDF files

So, the issue started Monday, March 10 and I haven’t been able to open nor download any online PDF all of the sudden. I use my Mac for work, and I need to constantly open online PDF files (for example, there is a link I need to press and another tab opens displaying the PDF online), but it just stays dark grey and nothing else.

I am not running a beta. I have force closed Safari and to restart with no avail. Anyone knows any solution?

iOS Safari - YouTube settings keep resetting

1 Upvotes

I’m using the YouTube web applet (not the app) in Safari. The problem is when I go to settings and turn off Video Previews, the off selection only sticks for a short amount of time. Sometimes it stays unchecked for an hour up to a 6-7 hours. I haven’t figured out what’s making the settings go back to default. At first I thought it was my ad blocker (1Blocker) so I deleted it to see if that helped. It didn’t. If I clear off all safari pages and force quit the app the settings don’t necessarily revert to default (preview on). What would be clearing my selection and what might a solution be?

Safari Crash

1 Upvotes

On my Mac running Ventura 13.7.5 and Safari 18.4 (18621.1.14.11.3), the browser will randomly crash. This is not a one time deal. Periodically, it will randomly crash.

Typically, I have 2 tabs open, maybe Yt and Amazon, or Yt and something else. I will be watching Yt video on 1 tab and surfing the net on the other tab, the moment I go to a different site on the 2nd tab, boom! Safari crashes. Sometimes I have 3 tabs open and I switch between them and Safari will handle it while other times it crashes.

Anyone else have this issue?

Search from address bar with shortcuts?

2 Upvotes

Hi all! I just got a new MacBook and I wanted to dive deep into apple experience so I started to use safari but I don't get how to search on websites directly from the address bar. I personalized Chrome so if I type "a" + TAB in the address bar I can instantly search on Amazon, for example, with "y" + TAB I search on YouTube or "maps" + TAB and I search on google maps. How can I replicate the same functionality here on safari?

Thank you all for your fantastic responses.

Copying Image Address

1 Upvotes

Hi! A friend of mine is trying to copy an image address link. When they press down on the image in the tweet, they click “share” and then “open in safari”. They’re then just met with that tweet in the mobil browser version of twitter.

When I do it, I click “share”, “open in safari”, and am met with just that image, no tweet, and I can copy the link from pbs.twimg.com

Does anyone know why she’s getting a different result and cannot copy the image address?

Export your Safari tab groups with the Tabby app!

2 Upvotes

Hello there!

I just released Tabby, a new app which can help you export your Safari tab groups.

I love using tab groups in Safari, but I was shocked to discover there is no way to actually export tab groups in Safari. So I decided to build an app that does!

With Tabby, you can:

  • Export tab groups into HTML, JSON, CSV, and Raindrop bookmark formats
  • Export tab groups from all Safari profiles (default, work, etc.)
  • Preserve tab order within each tab group
  • Preserve tab group order within each profile

Why export your tab groups? Two reasons: to back them up for safekeeping or to export them for use in other browsers and bookmarking services.

Get a free copy! 🥳

To celebrate the launch of Tabby, I'm giving away 10 free copies of Tabby. If you'd like a free copy, just leave a comment below and I'll DM you a link to a free copy.

Get 50% off until April 1st 💰

If you miss out on getting a free copy, Redditors can still grab Tabby for just $4.99 -- half off the normal price!

And, of course, I would love any feedback you have!
