Does anyone know exactly how Cutx works?

How effective is it compared to Pithhelmet or CSS stylesheet blocking?

It works ok but it REALLY slowed Safari down to the point where I just couldn't live with it. It depends on how much you value speed. Pithelmet is actually better at stopping adds but again, I can't use it as I like fast loading pages!

PithHelmet is slow too imo. Even with the recent speed increases.

and it doesn't block all ads.

Same with Cutx (just tried it), slow + doesn't block all ads.


And the CSS method definitely doesn't block all ads either


THe best one BY FAR is adblock for Firefox!
