Block ads in Safari
Firefox users have a wide choice of extensions to block ads and pop-ups on their browser. Safari users don't have such a wide selection, but Safari AdBlock makes for a decent choice.
Safari AdBlock is an easy-to-install plug-in which gives you a choice between general and advanced options. No configuration is necessary and it's ready to go as soon as you install it.If you do want to configure the advanced options, you don't have to mess about with System Preferences as Safari AdBlock has a handy toolbar button which configures everything.
There's not much to complain about with Safari AdBlock, although it doesn't show you which sites have been blocked which may be an issue for some users.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD AND DONATE!!!!! .
I rarely leave reviews. I believe the husband and wife are not smiling at their helpful creation, but laughing at what idiots we are for thinking this would work. Shame on Apple.A message to Apple: This is my last purchase, phones, iPads, books, and desk tops!!!! Since Steve's passing, the company has gone down-hill!!!! Terrible!!!!!
Pros:
easy download
Cons:
Words can't even express what this product needs.
Where do I begin??? More

Current AdBlock is ineffective when used with Safari 7.0.1.
The most recent edition of Safari (7.0.1 I believe) does not work with the current AdBlock. The reason is somewhere along the lines of the new Safari preloading compressed versions of the pages accessible through the internet links and buttons on the current page. As a result of this, Safari loads the page and all its contents (including all ad's) before you've even opened the page. Sadly AdBlock is not configured to work with this new edition of Safari and therefore is ineffective in blocking ads when using the new Safari browser. I've heard talk that Apple are working on this issue, but I cannot confirm this I'm afraid.JM
Pros:
It stops ads
Cons:
It doesn't appear to work with the current Safari 7.0.1
It still installs and appears to be working at first, but just fails to block ads More

Everything is as advertised..
Took about 20 seconds to download and install. Ads vanished instantly. As far as using Safari on my MacBook Pro is concerned, I am Advert free and ecstatic. Brilliant.
Pros:
Self install and simplicity and it works.
Cons:
Some sort of Icon could be left on desktop to start with. Not a big problem though. More

No more annoying ads! EVER!!.
It's awesome! I was a bit worried after reading a review that claimed it didn't work at all, but I installed it anyway (Why not?) and it works PERFECTLY! The installation was very quick and very easy and all ads disappeared instantly afterwards! I cannot recommend this enough!
Pros:
The fact it works perfectly!
How easy it is to install it! More

Ads are alive and well….
I installed Safari AdBlock 0.4.0 RC3. Aside from the new pane in my Safari preferences, there seems to have been no change. When I visit websites, they continue to show ads in their full glory. Restarting Safari does nothing. It's a shame, I was looking forward to using this.
Pros:
Nicely integrated preference pane
Cons:
Doesn't work. More
