GlimmerBlocker 1.4.2
About GlimmerBlocker
The problem with other ad-blockers for Safari is that they are implemented as awful hacks: as an InputManager and/or ApplicationEnhancer. This compromises the stability of Safari and very often create problems when Apple releases a new version of Safari.
GlimmerBlocker is implemented as an http proxy, so the stability of Safari isn’t compromised because it doesn’t use any hacks. It is even compatible with all other browsers.
You’ll always be able to upgrade Safari without breaking GlimmerBlocker (or waiting for a new release); and you’ll 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.
Whats New in this Version
- Reduced memory usage: GlimmerBlocker now uses less memory when using Snow Leopard (10.6) on 64-bit capable hardware
- Fix hang when opening the Sys Prefs Panel: Use short http timeout when testing if the java server is running or not, as the standard 60 sec timeout (times 3 tries) will hang the Sys Prefs Panel for a looong time.
System Requirements
- Mac OS X 10.5 or later
