Add easylist as a cross reference to enhance the user interface #223

Even though FP already blocks adverts could you add easylist as a cross reference to add a visual indicator such as a black dot against the URL's in the user interface to mark them as known advertisers and trackers?

One of the contradictions of FP is that when you unblock URL's to get a webpage to work you Inevitability unblock a tracker or a advertiser while trying to find out what URL's you need to get the website to work as obviously you can try the black flagged ones last.

Apart from it being impossible to remember every advertiser and tracker it will also be especially helpful for new users to make better educated guesses , Plus it will make it obvious what sites are forcing adverts and trackers on users before they will work.
