Link: Safari 3 AdBlock

Filed under: Internet Tools, Open Source, Leopard

I know some folks have been looking for an AdBlock plugin for Safari that works with Leopard’s Safari v3. The excellent Pith Helmet ($10) is now Leopard compatible, but the relatively new Safari AdBlock is open source and free. It’s pretty much install and forget.

Safari AdBlock is a free download from sourceforge and is…
