Safely open URLs on your jailbroken iDevice with LinkSafe

Section: iPhone / iPod touch / iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, iPhone OS, SDK and hacks

Links within iDevice apps can become annoying at times, especially when you opens said links accidentally and interrupts what you’re doing. This is where LinkSafe by Will Strafach comes in handy, assuming you have a jailbroken iDevice to install it on and $0.99 to cough up for it.

LinkSafe fixes the issue with links within applications by implementing a confirmation pop-up every time you open a link, asking whether to open the link in your browser or to cancel and continue what you were doing. This will essentially save someone prone to accidentally tapping links a lot of headaches, and will prevent Safari (or whatever browser you may have set as default) from opening accidentally and interrupting you.

LinkSafe is a simple tweak that performs its sole task of seeking confirmation before opening links, and has no settings or standalone application. It is currently available for purchase on the Cydia Store for $0.99 USD, and is definitely a worthy buy if you are tired of being interrupted by having links open accidentally.
