I run Safari 8.0.6 on my Mac. I have installed AdBlockPlus and Ghostery, and have set my Safari preferences to "block pop-ups." I also use StartPage exclusively as my search engine. I almost NEVER see ads.
You want free stuff? Ads bring you free stuff. Suck it up. It is really that annoying?
Sometimes it is, yes. But I don't block ads for that reason. I block them because the ad networks can't get a handle on their security so they are routinely used for malware distribution, which makes it a security issue.
Thanks, Mr Chickpea, it works great, annoying ads that had seemed to take over, are no more.
You're welcome. You might want to toss the developer a buck or two to keep the updates coming.
As for "you get what you pay for" - that is so last century. My customers don't seem to want to pay for anything, my tenant is past due on the lease, a webhosting company that I tried to tell to take a hike is trying to ding my credit card for services not rendered and the last politician I tried to pay off snubbed me.

I wonder if they know MOST PEOPLE have ads blocked and dont see any so they really blast the SPAM ADS knowing most wont see them anyway so why care??
MOST PEOPLE DO NOT RESPOND TO SPAM SO WHY BOTHER THEM SEEING IT ANYWAY?? (They wont click it or anything)
Dude111, why do you keep yelling? The first thing I do is scroll right past your posts because it's annoying as hell.
My guess is his 1/exclamation point key stopped working as he usually uses at least 5 or 6 of those...
