BlocKit - new WebKitGTK Adblock extension
https://github.com/dudik/blockit Hello. I've been working on a new adblock extension for browsers based on WebKitGTK - for example nyxt, vimb, surf, luakit... Notable features compared to currently available solutions are: supports both network and dynamic cosmetic filtering, automatic filter lists updating, element picker/zapper and a simple GUI (optional, configuration is also possible purely through text files). It's written in C, but uses the adblock-rust library written in Rust by the team that stands behind the Brave browser. Based on limited testing (https://adblock-tester.com/), the extension gets the same score as uBlock Origin (100%). I'm looking for some feedback - what works, what doesn't, what features are missing, what you like/dislike etc. The README should contain everything you need to know, but I will gladly answer any questions.

Nyxt Browser
What about blockit[0]? It does implement some of the features you need. It's still a WIP, but I'm actively working on it and it uses the adblock-rust library from Brave, which is already able to compete with uBlock Origin.

Nyxt Browser
All you're asking is already possible with Privoxy[1], which is even stronger than a browser adblocker. It's a very old software: it used to be unmaintained and lacking some essential features, but thankfully the development resumed and is now fully fuctional again with the modern web.
It can be used as an adblocker based on domain, request path, HTTP headers, etc, but it can do much more. It can redirect requests (for example, replacing assets from a CDN with a local cache), modify headers (stripping or making cookies temporary, changing user agent, etc.) and even rewrite the content of web pages using regular expressions or any external program.
By default, it has only a basic configuration that blocks tracking and ads, but there are tools[2] that convert adblock rules to the Privoxy format, so it will be functionally equivalent to adblock.
It acts as a CONNECT proxy, so you can run it locally or on a router and if combined with a NAT rule, it can also work transparently (obviously, you need to manually trust a CA certificate for https).
