GlimmerBlocker - universal adblocker

When you have to work with multiple browsers, you start thinking about solving two problems: password synchronization between them and ad blocking lists.
Since the first task to be manageable using 1Password (Opera, alas, is not supported), and for the latter there are several solutions. The most famous - blocking advertising using hosts file. Cons are obvious - it is inconvenient to edit lists, you can not subscribe to adblock-sheets, etc.
Soon found acceptable solution - GlimmerBlocker. This program works as a http-proxy, so that the ads can be blocked in all browsers at once. In this case, do not use hacks (InputManager, ApplicationEnhancer) and can be easily updated as the Safari, and he GlimmerBlocker.
Disadvantages are also missing. Firstly, it is inconvenient to replenish block lists - need to go to System Preferences. Subscribe to the sheets, but they must be in a format xml (and this is the second problem, since fayerfoksovsky Adblock subscribes to txt).
GlimmerBlocker - development of open-source, so no need to pay (although, of course, donations are welcome). Only works in Leopard.
