Website/Domain blocking

I visit certain websites and they drive advertising revenue by opening new tabs to other sites, despite having pop-up blocking enabled, would it be possible to add an option to block certain websites from being opened, either completely stopping tabs/windows to them being opened or by simply not displaying their content and a "content blocked" message?

Would work best as a right-click menu option in the URL window, once a undesired website has been opened, with a choice to block that specific page or the entire domain.

Hi @Knightrous70,

Thanks for the suggestion! Could you please share at least one example website so we can experience it ourselves?

@Mlipka I'll provide some of the pages that show up, if that's what you mean:

As you can see, the last one is especially problematic as it seems to be trying to initiate a file download, I've never clicked on the download link proffered but I'd rather not have it showing up at all and not risk accidentally initiating it.

@Knightrous70 Thanks for the details.

I'm adding it to the inspiration board for the team.
