Jul 14, 2010Is it just me or does anyone else feel that AdBlock does affect the loading (opening) speed of a website slightly?

Applications :: Safari Adblock By CSS
Aug 11, 2009I hate ads in webpages. adblock plus is a wonderful gift, but it is only for Firefox. I really like Safari on my mac and use it 95% of the time, thus I need something to block the ads on Safari. Luckily I found CSS.
CSS adblock has certain advantages, it is nonaggressive and can be customized to specific websites. There are quite a few CSS adblock on the internet and they generally do a good job. However, they are more of general instead of specific. So for the small number of websites I frequently visited none of the CSS I found could block ads 100%. So I made a CSS specific for the several websites I often visit. Here is the CSS ads removal Version 1.0. To install, in Safari/Preference/Advanced/Style sheet, select the file and it is done! In the current Version 1.0, it blocks ads from...........
Applications :: AdBlock For Safari 5 POS
Aug 12, 2010As a warning to others, I was experiencing severe performance issues when I had AdBlock installed/enabled. Safari would hang from 5-30 seconds, sometimes crashing entirely. It took me a painstakingly long time to identify the culprit (AdBlock). Not only did I experience performance issues, but it did not block all advertisements - at least not the ones that AdBlock for Firefox does. For instance, when I viewed certain embedded videos, I would have to watch a one minute ad first. This did not occur when I viewed the same page/video in Firefox (with AdBlock installed).
I'm curious to know why Apple approved this extension even though it doesn't appear to work all that well. Aside from failing to block all advertisements, it undermines the stability of Safari. If that's not a reason to reject an extension, I'm not sure what is. If you're interested, here is a website that causes Safari to hang, without fail, when AdBlock is installed/enabled [URL]. If I'm the only one experiencing this issue, then my sincere apologies to the AdBlock developers!
Applications :: Glimmerblocker - AdBlock For Safari?
Sep 6, 2010I had a SBBOD Flash crash earlier (had ClicktoFlash disabled for some reason) on a flash heavy site that caused by to have to Force Quit Safari. I had AdBlock running at the time and pondered whether it was that causing the issue, on top of the flash? Switched back to Glimmerblocker and I can't seem to get it to do what it did earlier, so am I right in thinking AdBlock is causing Safari to act a little weird (read: slower) or was it just coincidence?
View 1 Replies View RelatedApplications :: Alternative To AdBlock For Safari 5?
Sep 11, 2010Does anyone know of a reasonable alternative to AdBlock for Safari? I would like an unobtrusive ad-blocking extension that is equally effective. I understand that it will not be officially supported, but that's fine so long as it doesn't compromise performance/security. AdBlock uses way too much memory and it cripples Safari, causing it to hang/crash repeatedly. You can find the bug report here: [URL]
View 5 Replies View RelatedApplications :: Safari Without Glims And Adblock?
Apr 12, 2009I just reinstalled Leopard on my Mac after Finder kept acting weird and during the re installation of my apps I started using Safari 4 without any input managers or plugins. I was going to install them but I'm now not so sure. Safari feels quite better. Even a page full of ads feels like it actually appears faster after I click it's link. Do these things actually bog Safari down a little or am I probably imagining it due to having a fresh install? It would seem silly that blocking ads would take as long or even longer than just showing them.

Jan 14, 2010I am having issues with Safari Adblock. Running Safari 4.04, Adblock 0.4.0 RC3 in Snow Leopard. Also, running Safari in 32 bit mode.

Restarted Safari, restarted Adblock, restarted the entire PC, checked for updates, and reinstalled Adblock. None of these things worked.

View 2 Replies View RelatedApplications :: Difference Between Safari Extension And Bookmarklet?
Jun 9, 2010Many of the extensions I've seen (Share to Facebook, Instasafari, etc.,) already have existing bookmarklets. What's the difference between a bookmarklet and an extension? It seems like the bookmarklet would be better resource-wise because it's only used when it's needed whereas an extension (I guess?) runs with the browser itself.

OS X :: Can't Use Safari Adblock
Mar 24, 2009I just bought a macbook, and I'm a newbie. In my windows I had firefox and adblock plus and it worked just fine. Now I did some search and heard about safari adblock so I downloaded it. The problem is that i installed it several times () and I can't seem to use it. I think I did everything right: opened the install dmg file, followed the steps and that's it right? Was there anything else to do? And what about now, since I've installed it around 4 or 5 times, have i got it x5 in my macbook? Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm new to this
View 3 Replies View RelatedSafari :: Can't Get AdBlock Or ClickToPlugin To Run
May 12, 2012I uninstalled ClickToFlash because whichever version I had was causing some videos not to run on Safari 5.1.5. I am trying to find an alternative, but seem to be running into an issue trying to install AdBlock or ClickToPlugin. Both seem to install fine, but don't actually work. When I go to the extensions pane and click on "Click me to show xxx's options", the page that AdBlock tries to go to [URL] or that ClickToPlugin tries to go to [URL] shows up as a blank page. I can't find any settings or other plugins that would seem to block either of these from working.

Nov 1, 2009I searched this site, and can't seem to locate help; also googled my problem with little result. I downloaded and (I thought) installed Safari AdBlock (the file name is 0.4.0 RC3.pkg in the Downloads folder). I've done this probably 4 times, and I can't find any reference to the application anywhere on my computer, nor in Safari itself. There's a little open box with an emerging yellow cube in Downloads - Safari AdBlock. I double click, it installs, then it seems to end there. Can't find it. Safari still shows ads, so I don't think it's working, and I can't find AdBlock to try and amend settings.
