Alternative to AdBlock for Safari 5?

[nope7308]

Does anyone know of a reasonable alternative to AdBlock for Safari? I would like an unobtrusive ad-blocking extension that is equally effective. I understand that it will not be officially supported, but that's fine so long as it doesn't compromise performance/security.

AdBlock uses way too much memory and it cripples Safari, causing it to hang/crash repeatedly. You can find the bug report here:

I'm tired of waiting for a fix...

Thanks!

Version 2.1.4 is quite stable. Previous versions use to crash TOO often.

Best stability you can get is using GlimmerBlocker. It's a proxy filter so you can use it with any browser.

Been using AdBlocker since it came out in 64-bit and it has been rock stable

Thanks, I've been using it for a day now without any issues! Quick question - does AdBlocker use the same subscription list as Safari AdBlock?

I think I finally found a permanent solution. Thank you once again.

I use Safari AdBlock (not the extension, but the older version 0.4.0) and SafariBlock, along with ClickToFlash. I almost forget what ads look like!

It uses EasyList, just like most of the adblockers do.
