  Seriously.. This is unbelievable. I think there's a lot of room for devs that will stand for their users. My friend is actually releasing a pretty killer, no holds barred blocker (it's in the approval process): Halcyon Blocker: http://www.halcyonblocker.com http://www.halcyonblocker.com He's the only one I've seen come forward saying he's 100% committed to privacy and his app does not download anything. He curates the lists himself (I've helped profiling some of his block rules). I have a beta and it's fast, clean, and works. Can't wait for it to come out. He's pretty excited too.

    There's no information flow from Safari to the adblocker app, so that privacy point is really moot. Baking in the filter lists instead of downloading them from a server seems like a pointless restriction, preventing users from customizing the filter lists.
