With the Safari extension, there is now <strong>support for ad blocking on YouTube<\/strong> when using its HTML5 player. It should also work better with JavaScript, and a problem with &#8216;EasyPrivacy&#8217;, which would break some pages, has also been fixed. Safari users should also notice improved browsing speed with lots of open tabs.<\/p>\n<p>Version 1.8.4 of Adblock Plus is available now for Chrome, Opera and Safari.
