Is there a way to keep the whitelist/blacklist client side?
Need to experiment here, not sure atm. Keeping the list is simple, filtering on the client means much more data has to be served to the client, that might be an issue. OTOH, if I make the price higher for this feature, then I might get properly compensated. Thank you for pushing on this!

You could store templates (list of blackisted sites) on the server, which the user can download onto his client, or just simply let the user add his own entries. you can store the list on the client, inside local storage. you can do the filtering client side also, just match the set from the server with the urls in the local storage, and throw out any matches. no need for the server to know anything.
I think this is a niche feature though
