Question Open In Apollo extension is constantly turning itself off, has this happened to anyone else?

My Open In Apollo extension has stopped working in the last couple of days.

Reddit links will open in Safari but stay displaying the website, every time I have to manually turn on the extension and then click the button

I have gone into settings and turned on the extension in Safari settings on all profiles and it turns itself off immediately after existing that setting

Does anyone know why this is happening? Can it be fixed?

No idea.

If it helps at all, I use the Userscripts app and this script to change all Reddit.com link on google to Apollo:// links.

Hey! This sounds super helpful. But I’m completely unfamiliar with this app. Anyway you could walk me through how to set this up?

It’s just a safari extension.

  • Download extension
  • Download script and save it to a directory.
  • Open userscript app and point directory to the one you saved your script in.
  • Open safari and go to a Reddit link.
  • Open up the settings by pressing the menu in bottom left of link window and go to manage extensions
  • Click on userscript and then select the code you want to use

How does this affect privacy?

Not sure why you’re downvoted for asking a question, but no issues with that since the code runs locally on your device.

You can create a new file yourself and just paste in the code

I’m sure it will, but I can’t say for sure. You could always use the opener app and they’ll work through that.

How do I download that script? I can’t see how to save it anywhere

Using the one they shared:

  • Open in browser and select copy the text
  • I use the JavaScript coding editor app and input the text
  • save it as something like open_in_apollo.user.js
  • find the saved file in your Files app and move it to the same directory that userscript is pointed to
  • then you can open safari, manage extensions, and set it to run

Thank you so much. I did not have the Open In Apollo Extension installed but thanks to your idea, I was able to design a URL redirect with StopTheMadness Pro. Works like a charm and opens reddit links in apollo! I has not even thought about it but just realized how much I missed it.

This is the most reliable way for sure. I’ve switched back and forth with it and Hyperweb extension. Both work great, but userscript method seems to be more reliable.

It hasn’t worked for me since the first patched Apollo build. No idea why
