Adblock for Safari

One reason why I don’t use Apple’s Safari browser is its lack of ad blocking a la Firefox’s Adblock.Now, there is Safari Adblock.adblock.jpg

Now how good is it in blocking ads?  You be the judge.  I took a screenshot of one of Philippine’s top blogs, before and after Safari Adblock.

Before Safari Adblock was enabled:

After Safari Adblock enabled:

As you can see, only the US-based ads were blocked.  The ones based in Philippines remained to be displayed.  Users also do not have the option to blacklist or whitelist ad sites.  I hope that such a feature will be added in future versions.

    Use Camino, which has a working implementation of the hostperm.1 file.
