It's probably the most popular adblocker for Safari but it doesn't support 64-bit yet.
So, we've gone from sweetproductions to burgersoftware. Is everything Mac food based? You won't have to convince Rik to get one! ;D
You don't anyway. ;D

I had been up to 4am so I knew it was to early.
Side note to the 64bit Safari adblocker it uses SIMBL, now some people seem to think this is a security risk alluding to one of the older mac Trojans that has no got a hole to get in with this app using this kind of input manager, Apple seem not keen on input managers full stop, but thought I would mention SIMBL issue, I have refrained for adding it to Safari (which I don't use tbh) see the quote below which explains more.
"One of the few trojans to successfully exploit Mac OS X in the wild was called "Oompa-Loompa." It worked by installing an input manager in the home directory of any user who ran it. As a result, user-domain input managers were disabled in Leopard, and the permissions of the local Input Managers folder were changed so that root privileges were required to install anything into it.
SIMBL appears to re-open the security hole that was closed in Leopard. A trojan, only slightly different from the one described above, can install a SIMBL plugin in the user's home directory. Any application can then effectively be replaced by the trojan, even if the user is not a member of the admin group and doesn't have permission to modify the applications directly. You might think that because you're not running as an admin, applications such as Safari or Keychain Access are safe from unintended modification, but with SIMBL installed, you'd be wrong"
