Pith Helmet plugin updated

Pith Helmet, for those not in the know, is a powerful ad-blocking plugin for Safari. It offers a ton of options as well as the handy ability to specify blocking and rules on a per-site basis, kinda like OmniWeb 5. The plugin recently had an update, fixing a couple issues including odd behavior with "feed://" URL's, and there were some improvements to the rule set. You can grab the shareware plugin over at - where else - PimpMySafari.com, and a license will cost you a cool $10.

Saft updated to version 8.1.1

saftI was bumming last night when I discovered that the latest Apple Security Update, which included a Safari micro-rev, broke Saft. Imagine my joy this morning when I awoke to Saft v8.1.1. The latest version adds support for  Safari 2.0 (412.2.2), improves ad blocking features, fixes a bug or two, and adds a warning before you close a window with multiple tabs open.

If you don't already own Saft, you really need to download it right away and at least try it. Don't you trust us?

Tip of the Day

Use Spotlight as a reference tool. Type any word in the Spotlight box and one of the top entries will be a definition. Click on it, and it will bring up the dictionary application to check the word in either the dictionary, thesaurus, Apple database, or Wikipedia.
