I normally use Ghostery and ClickToPlugin in Safari, which in combination seem to block everything annoying.
Not wedded to the combination though - is ABP a better option?
- alayne 13y agoGhostery used to enable "Ghostrank" by default which is analytics they sell to advertisers. I think it may be off by default now, but it's at least an appearance of impropriety to me.
- charchari 13y agoGhostery also blocks too many legitimate contents, which is annoying.
- wallunit 13y agoAdblock Plus not only prevent ads from loading, but also hide their elements. And also hides text ads that don't require a separate request. So you will see less ads and the space reserved for ads will be used for the actual content instead. Adblock Plus also blocks tracking when you add the EasyPrivacy filter list [1]. So you won't need Ghostery anymore. But you can also use both extensions at the same time, if you want. [1] https://easylist.adblockplus.org/#easyprivacy https://easylist.adblockplus.org/#easyprivacy
