“Banish does one thing and does it well: it nukes dickpanels in Safari on iPhone and iPad”
— John Gruber, Daring Fireball

FAQ
Q: Why am I still seeing banners at the top?
A: Banners will still appear at the top if you have those apps installed. They can't be removed because they're built into Safari. To get rid of those, uninstall those apps.
Q: Did I install it all the way?
A: Both the Content Blocker and the Extension need to be on and Banish needs to have permission for All Websites.
Q: Can Banish block newsletter & subscription popups or other annoyances?
A: Banish is focused on blocking 'Open in App' & Sign-In popups.
