Take back control of your Safari tabs! TabGuard blocks annoying popups and unwanted new tabs while you browse.
Tired of websites opening random tabs when you click anything? TabGuard is a powerful Safari extension that stops websites from hijacking your browsing experience with unwanted popups, new tab links, and sneaky redirect tricks.
-----------------------------------
WHY TABGUARD?
Every day, websites try to force open new tabs, spawn popup windows, and redirect you to ads. TabGuard puts you back in control — block everything, allow trusted sites, or let Smart Mode decide automatically.

SMART MODE

It's the perfect balance between protection and usability.
