About GlimmerBlocker 1.4.7
The problem with other ad-blockers for Safari is that they are implemented as awful hacks: as an InputManager and/or ApplicationEnhancer. This compromises the stability of Safari and very often create problems when Apple releases a new version of Safari.
GlimmerBlocker is implemented as an http proxy, so the stability of Safari isn’t compromised because it doesn’t use any hacks. It is even compatible with all other browsers.
You’ll always be able to upgrade Safari without breaking GlimmerBlocker (or waiting for a new release); and you’ll be able to upgrade GlimmerBlocker without upgrading Safari. This makes it much easier to use the beta versions of Safari and especially the nightly builds of WebKit.
What’s New in this Version
- Bug fixes and better compatibility
- Workaround for invalid http response headers sent from some of the Akamai servers which Apple uses for their site. This made the Apple site hang for some requests.
- Opening the System Preferences Panel is now faster when you have filters with a huge number of rules.
- Accept “200 OK” in addition to “204 No content” and “201 Created” when publishing an filter using WebDav.
- Many more enhancements
