Rekt is a super minimal Safari extension that declutters and de-AMPs the "modern" web. Tired of seeing tons of banners and buttons asking you to use the app or login? Rekt silently, and safely, removes all of them.

Rekt also automatically redirects AMP links to their correct source website.

PRIVACY FIRST
---------------
Rekt has been built with a privacy first approach.

- All the blocking happens on your device with literally ZERO data being recorded or sent back to be data mined.
- Rekt doesn't keep usage data like the count of how many popups and banners it has blocked or links it has redirected.
- Rekt doesn't even come with basic app analytics or telemetry to keep track of how many times you've opened or use the app.
- It does check whether you have dark mode on or not so it can show you the correct tutorial video. (I hate opening a bright video on dark mode as much as you.)

If you're a security researcher, feel free to reach out to me for a license to make sure the app isn't up to anything funky.

DECLUTTER THE "MODERN" WEB
----------------------------------
Currently, it de-clutters and removes most “omfg please use our app” banners and buttons as well as the annoying login popups from:

- Reddit
- Twitter
- Facebook
- Quora
- Instagram
- Imgur

As added bonuses;
- Rekt nukes those infernal AMP links from Google by transparently redirecting you to the correct, canonical link.
- Prevent Quora from asking you to login to just look at an answer.

Whether it’s Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Imgur, Quora, or Reddit, everyone wants me, and by extension you, to use their damned apps to consume content.

Harder for us to block ads and much easier for them to scoop up your data, right? To further that agenda, simply browsing their sites on Safari now means we’re inundated with, well, waves of crap.

Whether it’s a modal covering half the screen with links to the App Store, an immediate popup asking you to login, or a header screaming “the app is 10x better”; it has to go. All of it.

Currently covers up Twitter share sheetNo specific issues I’ve noticed in my usage except that I can’t share a tweet via the share sheet on twitter without disabling the extension..Sergiy_rVersion: 1.0.5

Halfway worksTried this today on Reddit. It does hide the “Use app” button, but only visually. If you tap the area it’s at, you still go to the app store. I downloaded this app mostly to avoid those annoying redirects from accidentally tapping that button. It also introduces a new bug with Reddit that prevents scrolling from working until you tap something on the page. Basically it removed a visual annoyance, but didn’t improve usage in my case. Actually made it a bit more annoying, sadly..Deebz__™Version: 1.6.4

Worth Every Penny to Nuke the Google Widget Banner!I detest the Google widget banner on the bottom of every search page. I’ve tried other “fixes” and blockers without success. This works. I’ll say it again: THIS WORKS! All the other stuff it does is a sweet, sweet bonus. Great app and thank you!!.Dark_AthenaVersion: 1.1

Hit or Miss…Ad-blocking is a constant cat and mouse game where Developers need to make changes frequently. Rekt is a paid app, and you’re at the mercy of the Dev to constantly update it. However, I’ve found that the most stubborn sites break Rekt. Twitter and Reddit are an example. There should be an easier way to contact support directly..GhostyCoffee1Version: 1.6.1

Dev fixed all my prior issuesUPDATE: The developer reached out and said he was aware of the new issues with Reddit and I can verify the new update works perfectly again!.LiquidtenmillionVersion: 1.2

Sometimes freezes up safariBlocks the open app banner but I have noticed that occasionally it will prevent you from scrolling or clicking any links. I have found a work around by opening and closing the drop down menu in the top right..Appstore-reviewer1Version: 1.1

Not working on instagram websiteI still get a banner at the top to “open in instagram app” as well as a banner at the bottom that says “Use the app” It also doesn’t seem to work if I Add To Home Screen for instagram. Still has the “Use The App” banner for PWA (progressive web app).DsquareddanVersion: 1.2
