I don't know if it's the crack people are smoking, or what, but SafariBlock works great with OS X Leopard 10.5.8 & Safari 4.0.3. I used to 'mess around' with PithHelmet, found myself messing with its settings all the time just to get it to show a website correctly. Pure junk, but I hadn't tried anything else.
When I finally tried SafariBlock, I was truly amazed. I'm trying to figure out where I can donate some money to this cause, because this is EXACTLY how a precision adblocker should work. Keep up the great work!
SafariBlock is very, very simple. Just install with a few clicks & then simply USE SAFARI... That's it. It blocks all the crap, yet allows the websites to display how they were intended. Simple, simple. PithHelmet is a friggin' joke like PC's.

Very nice utility, but it does not work any more. I have tried various 'fixes' offered online, but so far safariblock is awol from my safari. Does anyone know a reliable technique for getting it working?

Ich hätte nie gedacht, wie viel Ruhe und Frieden man beim Surfen genießen kann, wenn die Anzeigen effektiv geblockt werden. Das funktioniert ja großartig, auch mit Safari 4 auf 10.4
I am astonished, how much I can enjoy silence and peace while surfing. Works well with Safari 4.0 on OSX10.4

Flash banners started slipping past AdSubtract, so I added SafariBlock to my mix with perfect (so far) results; ...highly recommended.
BUT... (I can't find a link with which to contact SB's developer, so I'll post this here.) Precisely what is the purpose of the cookie that is d/l'ed from fsbsoftware.com to my deuced Mac(hina) every time Iaunch Safari???
Thanks.

Does This Work with Leopard (OS 10.5.x)? - Version: 2.2, 9/2/2008 05:05PM PST

While I see a feedback from February that cites an earlier version of this software (v2.1) working with an earlier Leopard release (OS 10.5.2/Intel), the System Requirements here on VersionTracker still only cite from OS 10.0 through 10.4. Is that an oversight or is running under OS 10.5 not supported by the developer?

You installed SafariBlock and it just doesn't seem to load. Perhaps it used to work, but it no longer does. This symptom occurs either on a fresh install of SafariBlock or after updating Safari to the latest version.
The Problem:
Your user account is part of the "wheel" group, and thus when running Safari it has the same permissions as your user account. MacOSX forbids processes with permissions from the "wheel" group from loading input managers. SafariBlock is an Input Manager, and therefore won't work.
The Tests:
1. open up Terminal.app (search for terminal). Type 'id' (without the quotes) and press enter. You will see a lot of junk, along with your username somewhere in there. Look also for the word "wheel". See it? Then this IS your problem.
2. Optional: create a brand new user - open safari - see if safariblock is working there. (it installs globally, you dont have to install it for this user too). It it works there, but not for you, you likely have this problem.
The Solution:
Follow the instructions here: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20071029181159291
That article describes downloading a tool from Apple to let you modify your user and group settings.
You want to locate your own username and remove yourself from the "System Group" (also known as 'wheel' and it has the group ID '0').
Save your changes, restart Safari, enjoy the internet again.
