GlimmerBlocker 1.4.7 - Safari ad blocker. (Free)
Youll always be able to upgrade Safari without breaking GlimmerBlocker (or waiting for a new release); and youll be able to upgrade GlimmerBlocker without upgrading Safari. This makes it much easier to use the beta versions of Safari and especially the nightly builds of WebKit. Because GlimmerBlocker doesnt hack Safari, there is a few things it isnt able to do: adding a block by right-clicking an image, stopping pop-unders, and filtering cookies from 3rd party sites. But you win a lot in stability, and GlimmerBlocker provides much easier methods for adding your own modifications to pages by adding css rules, pieces of Javascript or by transforming the html before Safari receives it. So Ill hope youre happy with the tradeoff.
If you can program in Javascript youll be able to add your own modification to pages. See the included filters for examples, e.g. adding a download link to YouTube.
