PithHelmet used to work great until I upgraded to Tiger - now it crashes frequently when searching Ebay. I finally trashed it and replaced it with an ad-blocking CSS file from floppymoose.com combined with a Plug-in called SafariBlock. Safari has not crashed at all (after 6 days heavy use) it is Ad free - and it seems faster than it ever was with PitHelmet!!!

Ollieman.net has packaged the css file and SafariBlock plugin with instructions on how to install here: http://ollieman.net/code/adblocking/

If you are getting crashes with PithHelmet like I was I recommend trying this approach.
