If you want to block all ads for any browser on OS X, I have to recommend GlimmerBlocker, the ad blocking proxy.

http://glimmerblocker.org

In addition to blocking ads at the response level, GlimmerBlocker can be used block ads on mobile devices, do string replacement in requests or responses, keyword expansion, even entire page transformations w/ JavaScript.

It's not as idiot proof as ABP's "right-click and block", but nothing more complicated than anything else we see on HN. Also unlike ABP, there is no whitelist advertisers can buy into.

I set it up as a proxy for all known clients on my network, and it really makes the Internet better.
