	Nov 16 2009	TST I like the plugin but I am missing the option to subscribe to more than just one list. Searching on the net I get the impression that I am the only one. Am I missing anything? Maybe there are combined lists available somewhere? (Version 1.1.1)		0

	Oct 28 2009	GORDON142 I feel the need to have to my original review. I still really like this adblocker, but I have noticed that it does miss a fair number of ads. It's using the adblock+ subscription, so I assumed it would catch any ad that adblock catches with the same list, but it does not. It misses ads on a number of pages or parts of pages. Hopefully this will be improved in later releases. (Version 1.1)		+3

BOLLYWOOD Because this uses the engine of SafariBlock, you are correct, there is a lot of room for improvement. There is still not support for example - whitelisting an entire site.

	Oct 28 2009	GORDON142 Great product. I wish it collapsed blocked elements like adblock+ for Firefox, but otherwise It's fantastic. Love that it supports Adblock subscriptions. (Version 1.1)		+3

and the bundle:

/Library Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/Safari AdBlocker.bundle

	Oct 27 2009	DEFUNCT Well, i use Glims (finally got rid of Saft and will NEVER look back), ClicktoFlash and used Safari Adblock - problem was i had to be in 32bit mode just for Safari AdBlock (loved that plugin) Having seen someone had got around to creating a 64bit blocker - this one - Safari AdBlocker - i thought HURAY! Now i can finally run 64bit mode....but it seems my plans were thwarted. See, Safari AdBlocker offers much the same functionality as the others, although its contextual menus and implementation is rather nice - the problem for me is, that it does not block ads - i am subscribed to the easy list, and i keep seeing bloody google ads everywhere - including the Safari AdBlocker website. No problem you say! Simply click the contextual link and block the ads! - Well, ok, did that too and it STILL lets through all google ads. I would like to continue using it, so if anyone has ANY idea why its broken or not working , let me know - if not, i might have to go back to Safari AdBlock and 32bit mode..... (Version 1.1)		0

WEASELBOY Open the Safari Adblocker pref pane and add a custom filter with this > http://*.googlesyndication.com/* entry. That will block the ads at the devs site.

DEFUNCT Thanks for that, will try - one thing though - now come the same subsrciption list works great in Safari AdBlock, and not in Safari AdBlocker? Could it be intentional?

THE WESTERN ZOO You'll just need to disable the ad blocker while visiting that page, or white list it...
(Version 1.1)

	Oct 26 2009	THE WESTERN ZOO This is by far the best ad blocker I've ever used. The "personalization" options are great. I do not have any other Safari-tweeks installed, so I do not have any knowledge as to, how it interacts with other tweeks, but it has not made my browsing any less stable. The contextual menu options are really welcome, and with them it is very easy to add images and flash-ads to your filter. (Version 1.1)		+2

	Oct 26 2009	MONKEYJUNKEY Just wanted to say THANK YOU to the developer. This is the first AdBlocker to have import/export of personal block lists. This is a feature I was always looking for. And context menu integration is also much better than the other Blockers. I'm happy, because now I have an ad free Internet again. THANKS! (Version 1.1)		+3

AETH I just reinstalled ClickToFlash 1.6b2 after I installed Safari Adblocker 1.1 and both now seem to be operating fine. No ads and no flash makes for a happy Safari :)

BOLLYWOOD I have ClicktoFlash, Glims, Safari Cookies, and Safari Adblocker all running happily together.

WHYTOI Interesting. After 2 reinstalls and reboots, all the features are back. Initially ClicktoFlash menu disappeared and even Glim disappeared under Safari's Preference window. Ummm...
