I have missed it, since it's the only ad blocker I know of that works silently in the background and doesn't pop up questions every few seconds. I was sad when the previous beta worked neither with Safari 32 or 64 bit, but this version works correctly with my 64 bit Safari. I will wait patiently for the smoothing of the jagged edges and the addition of a proper preference pane, I understand that this is a lot of work for Mike Solomon, and I want to congratulate him on the great effort he has made so far, thank you Mike.

Yeah, I get that it's a beta version and I don't mind that the prefs are not accessible right now -- but is it actually doing anything at all…?! All it does for me is put the helmet icon into my menu bar, but it doesn't seem to be blocking any ads on any websites…

PithHelmet Troubleshooting ReportHelp, please: 3.0b1 installer hangs at "destination select" - Version: 3.0b1, 10/7/2009 03:21PM PST

nnager
I've found PithHelmet exceptionally valuable over the years. I've experienced no delays. But I run into a glitch right after I click on "Destination Select." The two destination options display with the top one lightly highlighted. Neither destination can be selected. The "Continue" button is gray and the only visible choice is "Go Back" The old PithHelmet 2.8.5 (85) installer, on the other hand, displays the top option for destination with darker highlighting and a workable "Continue" button.

Safari version: 4.0.3 (5531.9)
SIMBL version: 0.97
OS: 10.5.8
Mac: Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5

Please share an installation troubleshooting hint.

Respectfully, Norm
