better than rule based url matching and all that.

This reminds me of a site that tells people to modify their hosts and
HOSTS files on linux/windows boxes for all the different
cookie/advertising sites as well. Blocking access to all the tracking
and downloads for advertising. Saves on bandwidth as well as speeds
up browsing.
