“Block ads in Safari”

Firefox users have a choice of extensions to block ads and pop ups on their browser. What about people using Safari?

Safari AdBlock finally gives them an option. The plugin is easy to install, and will run automatically. You'll have a choice between general and advanced options, the later allowing you to choose if to block English, French or German ads. It's a shame Safari AdBlock doesn't allow you to block ads in other languages though.

The plugin works well and you never feel that it's actually there. Browsing the net without being harassed by ads is a relief, and Safari AdBlock is effective at that. The only downside is that you can't really see what's been blocked on sites. Sometimes you do want to unblock items that you'd like to see.

On the whole though, Safari Adblock is an excellent plugin to block ads on your Safari browser.
