what filter lists are you using ?

in chrome (which has the same counter implementation) I see the counter (for wired.com) arriving to 13 items and then stopped (using only easylist)
if you use other extensions try disabling them and retry

could be a specific safari issue

Seems to happen due to these blocked iframes:

Code: Select all

http://arstechnica.com/ads/newad.html#http...
http://www.wired.com/ads/newad.html#http...
Note that the one on wired.com only becomes visible (in the blockable items list in ABP for FF) when the XmlHttpRequest "http://www.wired.com/ads/cn.dartconfig.js" is whitelisted.

If you whitelist the iframes with the following exception rules, the counter doesn't go up as before:

Code: Select all
