Safari 3 AdBlock: no internet ads for me please
by Danny Mendez Dec 16th 2007 at 12:00PM
Introducing: Safari AdBlock, the open source way to avoid internet ads. It's free and (like someone we know on too much rum) easy. To install, simply point your browser to the Safari AdBlock page at SourceForge and hit "Download." The rest is pretty self explanatory. Safari AdBlock should successfully block most ads, although one may get through on occasion. Theoretically, this should decrease a page's load time since you'll no longer have to load ads, but there's a lot that goes into load times so you may not see any increase in performance at all.
Safari AdBlock works with Safari 3 and runs on Leopard (not Tiger and Windows). Those looking for a paid option should check out Pith Helmet, which costs $10 and works with both Tiger and Leopard. If you'd like to further customize your Safari, check out Pimp My Safari.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.

Kind of funny you guys telling people how to remove ads. Anyway on the windows front my fav option is admuncher http://admuncher.com/ works with just about any internet app however it is not free.

No where nearly as good as Adblock for Firefox. The entire page loads with the ads (that you have to see) before it removes the ad from the page. Plus you can't even edit the block lists.
Might get better in in later versions.
PithHelmet is much better.
