Default Safari's "ad-blocker"

Ken Fisher continues his campaign against any attempts to control display of advertisements on the internet. This time, he's taking on Safari's "novel" stripping of irrelevant material from "news".

I think Chrome already has an extension that does something similar.

Oh! And we're also treated to a definition of hypocrisy in the disclaimer section:
Quote:
Lots of confusion over what "hypocrisy" is. It's not a moral concept. It's an "expression of agreement that is not supported by real conviction."
And there's this classic (not from Fisher):
Quote:
Hypocrisy is the most difficult and nerve-racking vice that any man can pursue; it needs an unceasing vigilance and a rare detachment of spirit. It cannot, like adultery or gluttony, be practiced at spare moments; it is a whole-time job.
