How does Marshall handle ad blocking?

Looking at the code, how does Marshall implement its ad blocker? Is it using filter lists like uBlock or something custom?

[bad-antics]

Marshall uses a multi-layered approach to ad blocking:

1. Filter Lists: We load EasyList and EasyPrivacy by default, processed at the WebKit content filter level for maximum performance
2. Custom Rules: The nullsec-adblock engine adds our own rules targeting crypto miners, fingerprinting scripts, and tracking pixels
3. DNS-level blocking: Known ad/tracker domains are blocked before the request is even made
4. Script injection prevention: Inline script blocking for known ad frameworks

The implementation lives in the content filter module and runs natively in WebKit, so there is zero performance overhead compared to extension-based blockers.

You can add custom filter lists in Settings > Privacy > Custom Filters.
