Add adblocking functionality to GMPDP

[devksingh4]

Hi, Request for feature exactly as above (don't know how to add enhancement tag), to stop the ads for free users when starting a radio or that pop up once in a while. Don't exactly know enough JS to be dangerous, but I am willing to take a crack at it.

Thanks.

I believe this is something we've decided previously against implementing in the app. Trying to stay as far out of the grey area as possible. You can implement ad blocking at the network level or by using adblocking dns as an alternative solution.

Hi @jostrander, I did a quick search for ad blocking software in the issues and I couldn't find a reason against the implementation elsewhere aside from API differences. Is there a way to build a feature that would allow the end user to integrate the ad-blocker (such as u-origin) after you guys provided the software so that way you guys can stay out of that gray zone? Thanks in advance.
