Whereas with a real ad blocker the ads would get blocked before they get downloaded. This is important to some people.

Honestly, why have a full-time process eating up your machine's resources, when it's only used when you surf the web? Just get a better browser! Even Safari has adblock extension capability - I'm not sure where the free ones are though...

I will test netSentry over the next few days to see if its performance is really better than Privoxy, which I find already acceptable. I will post my review in the next few days with the results, especially if they concur with your observations (as I do not like to write about other programs extensively on review pages, but here I felt that Privoxy deserved a mention).
