How to stop ads in Safari from redirecting me?
Old 12-14-2008, 08:30 PM
Some websites I visit like hotmail and some others have ads that will redirect my browser (Safari) to their website without me even clicking on the ad. How can I stop this from happening?

Use this Safari AdBlock to stop the ads appearing altogether, that way you cannot be redirected.
