Looks good. I have always used ad-block plus for Firefox, so this might be good for Safari etc.

As I said there, I prefer Privoxy.

Seems nicely put together. I like the site enhancement aspect (e.g. YouTube)

I use SafariBlock on Safari (similar to ad-block/plus on FF).

Any obvious benefits this offers over what I already have?

It covers every browser you use. Doesn't addon to safari and therefore potentially reduce the stability of it.

I don't find ads a problem :confused:

Looks like a decent solution if your that bothered, though.

Nice, thanks - I use a mixture of Safari and FF, so this is ideal.

Flash ads (i'm looking at you, Facebook, with your new silly Live Search ad) make my MacBook's fan go nicely nuts
