It works different then most ad blockers its a proxy i think?? My first impressions are that it works well I tried 10 of my favourite sites and it blocked all of the ads just as well or better then my old ad blocker so am happy with this program.
Sanjinko Jul 20 The latest version requires installation of Java runtime, which isn't incorporated in Lion. Jazzyguy Jul 18 This version works great! Rochade Jul 16 I only received a cryptic message, telling me to deactivate and reactivate GB. Until I found the "Also download beta" in the Software Update checker.
With v 1. Jazzyguy Jul 11 I got an error-Problem performing your request try activating and reactivating Glimmer blocker. It did no good at all got the same message. Using Snow Leopard Betaiii Jul 10 Really slows down Chrome. I've had been using it for years, but after setting up Chrome to reload about 10 pages, Chrome was very slow to load after a restart. I removed GlimmerBlocker, and I'm now encountering no problems. Perhaps this is a Chrome issue, or simple incompatibility.
However, GlimmerBlocker has lost its usefulness for Chrome users. Moocan May 15 Some setup steps are missing? I only have fields with host is, path ignored, query ignored! Many thanks in advance.
Still the best ad blocker. Also, the process is now called "GlimmerBlocker" instead of just "java," which is helpful. B-Jefferson-Le-Blanc May 1 This update to Glimmer blocker really screwed the pooch. It blocks everything. Not cool. With one of the beta releases and continuing with this version, the LittleSnitch workaround stopped working and I'm getting constant "Allow? I re-added the workaround and still having issues.
Anyone else? Dchivas Apr 30 Safari remains ad free. Molamola Apr 30 Still the only AdBlocker which does not slow down Safari. I try the AdBlock Extension every once in a while, but specially after I've opened a couple of pages Safari slows down and takes ages to open pages. Memory use of Safari doubles at least and often exceeds 1 Gig. GlimmerBlocker in comparison causes 0 issues.
Thyx Mar 10 Helps a lot on my 4-year old MacBook. More memory efficient than usual AdBlockers - you don't need one blocker per app.
And I couldn't use Camino and other apps without proper. Good software, but be careful when you uninstall it. CatherineB Mar 7 To all LittleSnitch users : be advised that all web connections will be displayed as "GlimmerBlocker", and not as "Safari" or "Mail" or whatever.
This basically means that LittleSnitch will no longer be able to block individual applications. Aargl Mar 6 I've been using SafariBlock for years, but as I suspected it for some occasionnal "excessive blocking", I've tried this one and really like it, for the reason that the dev mentions, but also because it's working with any browser.
Still having trouble GlimmerBlocker now is not working at all. I reinstalled using the uninstaller , then restarted my MBP. Nothing seems to work, I hope that this is fixed soon. Was awesome while it did work.
Jichi Jan 3 Perfect work! Especially gr8 for blocking ads from those non-safari software with lamed adblock features, such as Opera and wine programs. Has been using it since And it finally come back to snow leopard as well.
Thanks to the developer! Robio Dec 17 Elegant, easy, smart. The only problem I have is not with GB specifically, but with the fact that running all of these makes it hard to tell which items in contextual menus go with which plugin. I don't know which "whitelist" option is which. Eclipx Dec 6 You even can add custom url-blockers. Have done my best to work through current major problem - GB will not block ads. First noticed this on NY Times website Dev will not respond to e-mails, hence my comment here.
Program has worked flawlessly in the past, what has broken here? Eemilydickerson Oct 2 Zeba Jul 27 What for does CCI stand for? Still the best ad blocker for Safari 5. Only downside is the lack of whitelisting and blocking from within Safari. Pissnaround Jul 26 GlimmerBlocker does not seem to work well with CCI. Yoshinatsu May 13 Sorry to say that, but I think GlimmerBlocker makes my browsing a little slower.
And I don't like that. Guest May 3 The installer fails to complete. Dspencer Apr 12 Works very well and does as it says. My only criticism is that you can't block or whitelist certain ads from within the brother but it's not that big of a deal and one thing to make up for this is the fact that Safari runs more stable without the safari adblocker plugin. Awado Mar 29 Highly recommended! The deeper I get into it, the more I love it. It is a very versatile extension to any browser.
There are a lot of predefined rules in it already. And for your own needs you may define any additional rule, by hand or by its integrated assistance.
I finally managed to modify URLs that lead to iTunes Store items, so that they are no longer forwarded to click tracking sites. As of March 20, , it has stopped working on Safari 4. Out of desperation, I installed Safari AdBlocker 1. Are other users of GlimmerBlocker experiencing the same issue? O Mar 13 A really, clever, unobtrusive, sophisticated add-on! I have it working with Opera I have not yet tested GB with Omniweb.
Kudos to Peter for developing this superb ad blocker. The beauty of GlimmerBlocker is there are NO hacks, or add-on, to any of the browsers listed above. Spacetracker Feb 26 Thanks for being a member of the "It Just Works" guild.
Holmemoss Jan 28 I have just installed Little Snitch. Why does GlimmerBlocker try to connect to numerous web sites which have nothing to do with ads? Islandmacman Jan 23 This appears to have stopped working as it did - not sure what happened with this update. Some ads are being blocked, but more ads - including a deluge of Flash ads, are now getting through regardless of any urls I manually block.
Very effective, it definately does what's advertised. Just going to the ad-choked NY Times website proves it. However with v1. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, restating my MBP, but nothing works. Zeb-B Jan 17 I tried the CSS approach suggested below and it really slowed down Safari.
GlimmerBlocker has given me no problems. An occasional ad gets through. Frevoi Jan 16 I like it very much so far. Is it possible to use AdblockPlus filters with Glimmerblocker? Or to convert them to GB's format? Any help is greatly appreciated! Valevale Dec 17 I just found GlimmerBlocker. After having used all the other ad blockers I could find, this is the one that works best by far. And by the way, it does not slow anything down for me.
It speeds up any web page that has adds and the more the adds, the more it speeds it up. Uncoy Dec 1 Short explanation: LittleSnitch is a network filter that watches your applications for outgoing connections interesting how many applications establish connections to Google, by the way.
Perhaps I'm a little paranoid, or maybe you like it as well. In any event, some months ago I tried GlimmerBlocker , a software proxy between your browser and the internet with the ability to filter ads on websites, manipulate websites, and much more if you have a little background knowledge on how the web works. Something I also can't live without after using it for a while.
By accident, I discovered that LittleSnitch and GlimmerBlocker can't really coexist at least if you are using Safari, because it uses the system-wide proxy setting as do all other applications. When you use GlimmerBlocker, all web traffic will be redirected to GlimmerBlocker, and GlimmerBlocker will be the outgoing connection LittleSnitch catches.
So, it's no different if you're surfing websites with Safari, Mail is checking for emails, or eyeTV is looking for updates: LittleSnitch will pop up with "Glimmer Blocker want's to connect to Before I was able to tell LittleSnitch to allow Safari all connections, but Mail to only allow connections to gmail.
If you want to use LittleSnitch and GlimmerBlocker together, read the rest for my workaround, but be warned: Please do all of this only if you have some background knowledge of the network preferences and Apache. You may harm your network preferences and kill the internet on your machine if you don't know what you are doing here!
Unfortunately, there's no way, in a. Starting the Apache webserver is quite easy: Just go to the Sharing preferences and be sure Web Sharing is activated.

Based on a hint by macosxhints. This is the interesting part. Bite me. Sorry, my bad, I was just responding to the request to donate the Perl code. The script is a CGI script, which means you need a webserver running, same as for the original hint. Put it wherever you keep CGI scripts for your webserver.
I have to admit that I'm using Entourage and not Mail and wrote it that way because Mail is even more known ;- [ Reply to This ]. Sven [ Reply to This ]. GlimmerBlocker 1.

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 and other native Mac OS X applications which uses http, e.
The proxy runs on the mac and not on a central server like most proxies. 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.
Because GlimmerBlocker doesn't hack Safari, there is a few things it isn't able to do: adding a block by right-clicking an image, stopping pop-unders, and filtering cookies from 3rd party sites. But you win a lot in stability, and GlimmerBlocker provides much easier methods for adding your own modifications to pages by adding css rules, pieces of Javascript or by transforming the html before Safari receives it.
