Safari AdBlocker
Oct 27 2009

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?

Safari AdBlocker
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.....

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.

Toast Titanium
Oct 9 2009

DEFUNCT  Could someone explain to me, if you have downloaded it / use it, why the 10.0.3 update is in excess of 800MB?? I was always used to the fact that Toast was bloatware at a couple of hundred MB, but 819MB is ridiculous!

BACKPACKER  The 'bloat' seems to be mostly here, when you control or right-mouse-button-click on the app:

Toast Titanium.app/Contents/Resources/Toast DVD Menu Styles

Each 'Menu Style' has 1 large and 1 small psd image/graphics file, except for the NoMenu.psd.

Trash the Menu Styles you think less useful or nice, and save a few hundred MB, and that's before slimming/de-localizing.

If anyone finds 'bloat' elsewhere, please yell.

Saft
Oct 8 2009

DEFUNCT  Basically in short:

Saft used to be great, and alsmot in a league of its own.

No really exciting new functions have been added, the developer insists on charging us for EVERY upgrade, when all he does to get it to work with new versions of safari is edit a line in a .plist (ok, the 64bit version probably did require work and i would pay for that...but all the rest? come on!)

Another bonus is the developers insistence on being entirely uncommunicative, basically, if you pay, dont expect mich in return expect emials saying "this new version is out, please pay XX dollars to upgrade" - thanks for that.

So, after many years of relative happiness (all this aside, saft does what it does very well), i have ditched saft got Glims working in 64 bit Safari, its free, its great, i can talk to the developers (they actually run it like a project! communicate! inform us!) - i wont ever look back, but will thank Saft for a number of happy years.

p.s there are other alternatives - SafatiStand etc - check out http://pimpmysafari.com/
