Since moving to Safari for most of my web browsing needs I’ve been using a replacement for the brilliant AdBlock Plus called PithHelmet.

PithHelmets default setup is fairly functional although some customisation is required to get it working with various websites that I use daily. There is however one default setting that annoys the hell out of me as it doesn’t seem to remember the last state.

Enabling plug-ins for every site is something I really want to maintain on by default. I only block plug-ins based on the website I’m visiting and if they annoy me or are in some way dangerous, although that’s very few as I use OpenDNS to keep the nasty stuff out!

If I toggle the Enable plug-ins option to on, PithHelmet remembers this until I close Safari and then it defaults back to being off. This can be a little annoying when reopening Safari after a reboot or when I’ve quit the application accidently.

Asides from that annoyance, PithHelmet is definitely worth getting if you use Safari.
