Here's a list of "Rules" you can use in GlimmerBlocker to block those annoying in video adverts on "Vevo" and "Daily Motion". Tested on an iMac 27" i5 running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.7 □ I suppose you could just use "Glimmer Blocker" as your only "Ad Blocker" but I prefer to use "AdBlock" as it's smaller and uses less resources but with "Glimmer Blocker" installed as well it finally means that you can get rid of YouTube video ads too when using Safari 5.x & Snow Leopard. Now you will find all those annoying pop up banner ads in YouTube videos are gone for good. (The most important bit to set is the " Host" section which must be set to "is in domain" and using " " in the text field) Now simply set it up as shown in the following picture and click on " Save". Now in the " Rules" window below click on the " +" sign below that to add a new rule. (Make sure only the new filter you create is ticked - you don't need the rest if your using "AdBlock" as well) Give the filter a name (I simply called it YouTube). Un-tick/ deselect all the boxes in the "Filters" section then click on the " +" sign below the "Filters" window to add a new filter.

Simply download and install "Glimmer Blocker" which will set up a new "Preference Pane" for you.Ĭlick on the " Glimmer Blocker" preference pane and then select " Filters" from the tab bar.
(download the version fos OX 10.6 Version 1.4.16 for Safari 5 on Snow Leopard) Now you will also need " GlimmerBlocker" which can be found here. You will need or probably already have installed the AdBlock extensions for Safari if not you can find it here. Happily it's now easy to fix with the following solution. In Safari Ver 5.x running in Snow Leopard one of the most annoying things is the fact that the AdBlock extension while doing a good job simply doesn't block those annoying banner/ pop up ads in YouTube videos.
