Does your app block ads being fetched or merely block them?

Perhaps a 'better' expansion of blocking would be to provide a filterlist [subscription] for privoxy?

Privoxy is a non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data and HTTP headers, controlling access, and removing ads and other obnoxious Internet junk.

because privoxy can do more than block FQDN [hosts]; it is more akin to the power of uBlock Origin, the interweb browser adblocking extension. Privoxy runs as an app. UserScript type power should catch attention here.

This only mutes the speakers when ads are on. If only windows hosts file and firewall supported a more advanced syntax...
