I used to use PithHelmet, but then I realized that it was sometimes blocking ads/images on websites where it shouldn't have.
Something important, pertaining to the website, that's not "ad-related" ....
Now, I'm wanting to install it again, but am wondering how good of a job it blocks out the intrusive ads and not blocking important images?
also, do most people keep the settings by the default? or modify them?
thanks for any help!

I don't use it again yet, since AFAIK it doesn't work on Panther, but I remember being able to right-click blocked content and tell it to un-block it.

I tried the stylesheet filter, but to me it seemed like pages were taking longer to load with them.

Use the pithhelmet prefs to tell it not to block the servers you want.

..... but if the images were blocked [good images], then you wouldn't know they were blocked in the first place since the image doesn't load?
in this circumstance, what could I do?
thanks for the input so far!

That's funny, because for me, the opposite was true... But maybe it was because before I used Safari Enhancer.app or something that installed it's own css and made it hyper super slow... dunno... By the way, I'm using BOTH css and PithHelmet, hihihii

Pith Helmet I think actually stops the image from being downloaded while css just will hide images matching a certain string

Actually, I don't think that's true about Pith Helmet
