DESCRIPTION
PithHelmet... Problem: I hate ads. Solution: Kill my television. Better Solution: Content-filter my web pages...

The PithHelmet adds some basic but powerful content filtering to Apple's Safari browser. The basic purpose is to filter advertisements, but there are other potential uses as well (blocking Flash, Shockwave or horrible midi loops). This is just a quick hack on top of Apple's basic framework, but it seems to work rather effectively.

SYHARRIS  While PithHelmet 2.8.3a won't install on its own with the latest safari(3.1.2) I can't even get it to install using Pacifist.I was able to install it on Safari 3.1.1 using Pacifist.  (Version 2.8.3a)

GYPSYMOTH  I'd like to configure PithHelmet to accept cookies from web sites but remove them when quitting Safari, something that can be easily done in iCab or Opera, for example.

I've set default site rules' cookie policy to either "use Safari cookie policy" or "allow only from the current site" as well as "discard when application quits" but cookies still remain after closing Safari.

I've even tried setting the above cookie policy for sites on an individual basis, but the cookies still remain after closing Safari.

Can PithHelmet, in fact, be configured to do the above, or not? Of so, how? Am I missing something?

I emailed the developer with this question but he did not reply.  (Version 2.8.3a)

SAINTFU  Does anyone else find that Pithhelmet deactivates Safari's "fit image to window/click to zoom" feature? Images don't scale when I load them anymore.  (Version 2.8.3a)

JACKWEB  Thanks for the update, it installs but I'm getting the "not able to right click" problem now. Seems to happen with the other ad blockers too. At least its not crashing when I right click.  (Version 2.8.3a)
