Banish - Block 'Open in App'
Banish is a Safari extension that removes supported open-in-app prompts and similar overlays.
Choose it if those prompts interrupt reading websites in Safari.
It makes targeted page changes rather than requiring each website to be blocked.
Keep in mind: It affects websites, not native apps, and cannot remove Safari's own installed-app Smart Banners.
