What's the best adblocker for Safari?
I had a search for some at MacUpdate. And it gave me 3 or 4 of them and none of them got a decent review by the users. So I'm just asking is there an adblocker that an M-F user would recommend?

That one says it's the only one that works in 64bit safari. Has anyone tried it?

Did any of the reviews mention the AdBlock extension?

No they didn't actually. But since it's on the Apple site I'll give it a try and pass feedback on how good I think it is.

[edit] After surfing just now a few ad heavy sites I frequent it seems this ad blocker seems to do the job just nicely. So thanks for the link. And if I ever find it's no longer working well I'll pass the information on.

I just use AdBlock on both Safari and Chrome. The extension works perfectly.
