CALL ME YO DADDY  So far I am very impressed with this updated version of Safari Adblock. I've tried other ad blockers for Safari and for some reason or another I just ended up disabling them. However, this is the best one by far. I love the fact that with just one click after adding the "AD" button to Safari I can disable it if I find it is causing a conflict at a site.

It's pretty accurate in my limited testing. It uses the same filter list in Adblock Plus. I've only had to disable it at CNet's video page but doing so only required just one button click.

This makes using Safari much more attractive and enjoyable. Please don't ever stop the development of this plugin. :-)

TH3 J0K3R  Causes Safari 4.0.3 to load pages forever when enabled. For example macworld.com

Hope this is fixed soon.

BODIE  I just noticed this too. Disabled AdBlock and the problem went away. Hope AdBlock is updated soon. I'd even pay for it.

BOLLYWOOD  There is now a functioning 64bit SIMBL plugin build on GitHub, it works for some, not for others though. so if you're handy with XCode, d/l and build it yourself.

its working perfectly on my 13" MacBook Pro running 10.6.1

and my 15" MacBook Pro running 10.6.1

it is NOT working on my 13" running 10.5.8 however (but as 0.4rc3 still works, it shouldnt really matter)

BOLLYWOOD  I take that back, its only working very sporadically..... I tried helping out with the code, but it seems no one else has the time or motivation to get it working properly. So, Im jumping ship over to SafariBlock, which does have a functioning 64bit version.

Shame, I prefer this.

THEKIDFROMTHEREDBANK  It would be great, if Safari AdBlock had a feature to Import/Export custom filter-lists. I was using SafariBlock for years , but now I switched due to incompatibility with Snow Leapord. I'd love to import my manual filters but looking at SafariBlock, it doesn't seem to support exporting the data... Someone has to make start on this.

MONKEYJUNKEY  The new Safari AdBlocker 1.1 (which is a fork of the dead SafariBlock) has import AND EXPORT feature! Great, just what we all have been waiting for. Now it's easy to transfere personal block lists between several blockers (if only Safari AdBlock had an export feature itself. Can't be to hard to program, because the developer of Safari AdBlocker did it in one day just after the 1.0 release). Give it a try...

JEFF H.  Doesn't show anywhere after install in Safari 4.0.3 (6531.9).

Goes through the install procedure but isn't in prefs afterwards...strange.

Anyone else?

2SHAE  For me it doesn't collapse the pages anymore. Meaning that it removes the space that the ad was taking.
