PithHelmet

After a recent hard drive failure on my Mac, I realized just how much I hate the web. No, that’s not really true. I don’t hate the web. I think the web is great. Advertising on the web, that drives me to distraction. And so I realized how much I appreciate Mike Solomon’s PithHelmet plug-in for Safari.

Pithhelmet does a very good job as an ad blocker, but it’s more than that. It allows for per-site configuration of Safari. So I can turn on Javascript for a small subset of websites, perhaps Flash for another. It’s fantastic.
