* You can use a hosts file to block ads. Examples:
|

http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/[1],
|

http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm[2],

server for blocking ads.
|
||||
* Use the https://www.requestpolicy.com/[RequestPolicy] functionality to
|

block ads, which currently isn't implemented either.

If you think you can add ad blocking or request policy, please
