Safari updates messing with your ad blocker? Try GlimmerBlocker.
GlimmerBlocker is downright derisive of other ad blocking options, explaining on their website that "The problem with other ad-blockers for Safari is that they are implemented as awful hacks ...This compromises the stability of Safari ..."

Hi Lee.
I'm aware of blocking proxies. However i was looking something like addons Jay mentioned in the story or adblock+. I'd want them to integrate into the browser like PithHelmet or GlimmerBlocker. That way it's easier to see what is blocked, not blocked, shouldn't be blocked, etc..
