Q: Why am I still seeing banners at the top?
A: On some websites, 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.

Accessibility Comments

There's nothing to cause accessibility issues here - you simply enable the extension in Safari and leave the extension to do what it needs to.

If you want to report a problem with a website - such as a popup not being blocked - the extension takes you to a simple and accessible Google form to submit it.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

All buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver and is easy to navigate and use.

Other Comments

Anything which cuts down on the annoying popups and messages that often get in the way of VoiceOver has to be a good thing.

$2 well spent in my opinion.
