Blocking ads for Safari

Being doing some tests, again, trying to block Flash (and annoying ads) on Safari. Even tho I have SafariBlock installed, some of the buggers still pass thru, specially the Google Ads, which on some news blogs I read are a real PITA.

So, gave a shot using the "userContent.css method", here is a copy of mine, the Flash blocking a la Firefox's FlashBlock does not work.

/*

* Rules without !important are overruled by author rules if the

*/

/* You can find the latest version of this ad blocking css at:
* http://www.floppymoose.com
* hides many ads by preventing display of images that are inside
* links when the link HREF contans certain substrings.
*/
