PithHelmet-0.2

Started using PithHelmet-0.2 a couple days ago. Seems to speed up loading pages quite a bit.

I added strings to the list;

In case others don't know about it:
Pith Helmet 0.2
The PithHelmet adds some some basic but powerful content filtering to Apple's Safari browser. The basic purpose is to filter advertisements, but there are other potential uses as well (blocking Flash, Shockwave or horrible midi loops).

Can you post your .plist as an attachment so we can drop it in as a replacement for the default that comes with Pith Helmet?

Cool! Works great! Thanks bobw.

So I was just wondering though -- would it be inappropriate to post the following additions here...

<string>http://www.digitalcrowd.com/.*</string>
<string>http://www.macosx.com/\w*\.gif</string>

...or hypocritical not to?
