It'd be nice to implement a simple ad-blocker that's using a list of
domain names of known ad-servers (e.g.
[https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts from here]) and block those. It can
be done manually, see [https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/using-a-hosts-file-
to-ad-block/5389 this forum post], but it's not exactly convenient.
As some sites don't load and remain blank in Web+ if such a "hosts" file
is deployed, this ad-blocker will have to recognize such a situation and
retry to load that site without ad-blocking.
