Well maybe it's not PithHelmet that does it, but I've been having a lot of crashes lately. This morning it was a CNN article. I disabled PithHelmet and the page loaded fine; enabled PH and it crashed again.
Has anyone else had this happen?

Yes, it does. PH pithed me off so much, I decided to dump it.

Yes. It's browser voodoo some recommend against.

I've had the same thing with Pith Helmet, but I sure like the ad blocking. What are the favored alternatives? Learn to enjoy ads?
Cheers,
Shane

Use a style sheet for ads (which is what Apple put those there for IN THE FIRST PLACE!) and dump PH. It breaks EVERY SINGLE TIME Apple makes even a MINOR change to Safari.

Dumped it a while back, but I do like Saft, except that it breaks with every upgrade, but this time it was really easy to get working again with a simple edit in the bundle plist file.

Well it seemed to work nicely: now I cannot view any video (Youtube, NASA tv, Google video, CNN, etc.) whether that style sheet is selected or not. Any ideas on that?
