Comment (by humdinger):
I wasn't suggesting to include a hosts-based ad-blocker in the network
prefs, just explaining how I got the idea to open the "hosts" file from
there. (I do use hosts + poorman to kill ads, works very well) :)
You may be right, "hosts" is a pretty low level concept...
What could be interesting though, is to have a GUI for adding 'aliases' to
certain IPs, as I do for my raspberry and NAS. Those would then be merged
into the 'hosts' file. If anyone sees value in that, I can open a new
ticket for that.
