Block web advertising with Safari AdBlock

Posted by Thomas on June 12, 2009 in Other | 14 comments

What I bring you today is a pearl, but pearl of fat!

For some time the advertising is annoying Internet users to surf safely and that the role which should be advised of when you want, now just pissed.

Gradually the degree of intrusiveness of the ads (mobile banners, side windows, windows down in the middle of the text, loud music ...) was reaching intolerable extremes and is not uncommon to find sites where ads are eaten almost the whole area of vision , raising a category of anecdote in the words that really interests us.

With this crisis is aggravated because many advertisers and many sites have already surpassed the barrier of common sense.

Luckily we have a real gem: Safari AdBlock .

Safari AdBlock is a free plugin, similar to those that work for Firefox, even supported by the latest version of Safari 4, and that makes things like that then I bring:

(I put my two examples, but I've tried many places and is literally brutal!)

The Vanguard (before)

The Vanguard before

The Vanguard (after)

La Vanguardia after

Eye form (before)

OJO form before

Eye form (after)

OJO form after

Too many words, and ads.

@ Arnau, at the end are just for sinners. It is unfortunate that because of a few who abuse the users (us) at the end we will defend these forms so drastic.
Some links of patronage, a discrete google ads do not bother. I believe firmly in the field of advertising and sponsorship agreement and live blog or website sponsor. But that has nothing to do with those banners before you put the news on the right side of the story, the left side of the story and in the middle of the story (and that of these there are only 2 or not 3).
This system is quite radical, but it sure can force companies like yours to, together with other sector, a balance between advertising and non-intrusive, well managed and the interests of users to not be abused.

Hell, that cute! It's great for users who just want to browse and point ... however, for sites that have advertising, is a putaaaaaaada.
I agree totally with Tomas: The fact that many websites have an abusive and indiscriminate use of advertising to their websites, has stimulated drastic measures. All masses sting, but in this case is better to err on the side not of modest exaggeration.
And a good putada for websites that have / have also blocked Google's advertising-advertising google this device? - But until it does not change, I think is a good choice.
Try the plugin with Safari that I have installed on your PC!
Cheers!

@ Thomas, in the case of Internet advertising, the more it depends on the webmaster than us, Let me explain myself: The ads largely through Internet are shopping for "packs" 10,000 insertions for example, and then decided that the site where the sets (we speak of small ads).
Another great thing is that these banners if they are purchased individually, however while the Web in particular provide the space, the customer will buy.
But you're right that if we find that there are fewer clicks, it will recommend to the client area.
I explain what and how badly rollassos that picture ...

@ Iker, apology that I had passed some comments, including yours. Yes, just install it and you're done.
@ Rai, Oriol said that version was better because Safari does not leave holes in the place where advertising has been deleted, which it passed in Firefox.
