  • Performance improvement
  • Treats manual filters as ABP filters
  • Various bugfixes
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later, Safari 2.x and 3.x.

D3ATHCARB4FATTY  I just uninstalled SafariBlock after using it for a few months, only to finally determine that it was the cause of my computer drastically slowing down! I'm using a Powerbook G4 with Tiger. I am also using WebKit, so not exactly Safari, so I'm not sure if that affected it or how. My browser now runs about 1.5-2x faster after uninstalling. Before there were plenty of long beach ball pauses when opening new sites or switching between tabs.

Anyway, if anyone knows how I might be able to run SafariBlock without the slowdown (and without actually running the original Safari because WebKit is awesome) I would really appreciate it.  (Version 2.1)

JACKWEB  Seems like the 'right click' bug is back?

Like one poster several months ago noticed, whenever I right click in Safari it causes a crash. If I right click on a flash animation I get a menu.

Was there ever a solution for this?  (Version 2.1)

DISCERPTOR  I'm very impressed with the update to SafariBlock. I didn't use it before because it required the tedious process of downloading the proper list files and even then didn't block the ads in the right way (like Firefox's AdBlock does). The automatic process employed now works really well, though, and other than some CPU usage inefficiency I'm very pleased overall. All it needs now is the ability to do single-user installs on Leopard and possibly the ability to choose from different adblock lists. And of course, tweaking the CPU usage would be nice. Well done overall.  (Version 2.1)
