DESCRIPTION
SafariBlock helps to provide a seamless extension to Safari Web Browser that supports ad-blocking. It is by design an imitation of Firefox's AdBlock extension, written because I love AdBlock, but I prefer to use Safari on Mac OS X.

IAMASWISSGUY  You must run Safari in 32-bit mode by right clicking on the application, selecting Get Info, and checking the box.

IAMASWISSGUY  Err, sorry. I was excited, because I finally figured out how to have SafariBlock appear. But it doesn't do it's job, unfortunately. My bad!

THUS.SPAKE.Z  Upon launching Safari browser, a Safariblock "welcome" message appears right in your face on top of the just launched Safari page. I find it quite annoying. There's no apparent way to disable it from appearing.

True you can easily quit the message but still, is the message really necessary? And in ones face no less?

Other than that annoyance, Safariblock is really fine.

CYBORG9  I agree! The very "in your face" message states, "Safariblock 2 will eliminate the annoying advertisements you see while browsing the internet".

Well, what is the message if not an annoying advertisement. And there's way to eliminate that annoying advertisement.

Developer, get rid of it; it's totally unnecessary. (I wonder, what was the developer's rationale for including it....makes no sense at all.)

TOMP  In Safari 4.0.1, right-click flash blocking seems to have stopped working, which is unfortunate. I'd love to see that restored. Otherwise it's a very good adblocker.

TOMP  I got it to work in 64-bit Safari:

- Download the updated SIMBL, uninstall the old one, install the new one. Reboot.

http://www.culater.net/software/SIMBL/SIMBL.php

- Download the 64-bit Safariblock bundle, put in ~/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/

http://www.filedropper.com/safariblockleopardbundle

- Make sure Safari isn't in 32-bit mode (command-I on Safari).

I followed the instructions at http://code.google.com/p/safariblock/issues/detail?id=115 particularly comments #26 and #33.

(Also, the new SIMBL caused a minor problem with SafariStand, which is fixed by a new SafariStand version.)

THREEDEE912  ABP list importing works great, doesn't slow Safari down much, does good job of blocking ads and cleaning up the space left over.
