Firefox and Adblock
Until Safari comes with something as powerful as Adblock for Firefox, I'm staying with Firefox. AFAIK, Safari doesn't have any way of blocking ads. That's too bad because I want to like Safari.
Ad blocking with Safari
I have been using a shareware package called Pith Helmet that works great with Safari. Not only does it block ads, but also cookies. (Both with user setting on how agressive!)

Ad blocking with Safari
Being one of the many *nix users who started to care about Macs after OSX was released, I can say that the Mac community's obsession with shareware annoys the crap out of me. Heck, it seems like I even now *depend* on shareware to fill the voids that Apple leaves in their software.
software market diversity
So, you're implying there's no middle ground in the "*nix community" (which I've participated in for ~30 years) between free/opensource and full-blown commercial software? That kind of elitist view of what the software market should be annoys the crap out of me (if I may borrow your words), and probably a few developers and potential developers, too. And it almost sounds like you want sympathy for Apple leaving a void filled by shareware that it seems like you now depend on, yet are critical of?! Sort of a twisted combination of disappointment, greed, and anger.
Firefox and Adblock
Blocking ads in Safari is trivial. Just grab any of the usercontent.css files floating around, set it as your stylesheet in the Advanced preferences, and you're done. |
