And because it happens all the time in iOS, developer Will Strafach developed a tweak to help fix that annoying issue. It`s called “LinkSafe” and what it does is protect you against links and applications opening without your permission as well as give as a level of security against malware.

In an interview conducted with the developer as to how and why he thought of this brilliant tweak,he said:
JOSH: What gave you the idea to create LinkSafe? WILL: I was pretty annoyed by the issue of being thrown into another application
(like YouTube) after accidentally tapping a certain link, or tapping a
link/button that I didn’t know would try leading me there. So I made
this as a solution.
JOSH: How long have you been working on LinkSafe? Was this tweak coded completely on your own or did you have collaboration from other developers in the community? WILL: Coded on my own. Not sure exactly how long I spent working on it, but
it wasn’t able to put it together too quickly due to certain bugs I
had to hack around. The initial coding of it didn’t take too long, but
I had to spend roughly a week testing and reworking some things due to
bugs (although to be fair, they were due to me taking some shortcuts
in the initial build)
