Feature request: add uBlock Origin ad blocker

[lmrsdn]

Add uBlock Origin (ublockorigin.com) open-source ad blocker which is effective at blocking YouTube video ads.

I also would like to have an adblocker on the app. Not for YouTube tho, there are a lot of sites on the internet that abuses of ads, and are unusable without an adblocker.

I saw that there are closed issues about ad blocker because the app has the feature to block 3rd party request. The problem is that some sites do a lot of requests to a lot of 3rd party domains with weird names, and some of those requests are necessary for these sites to work properly.

So, we need to spend a lot of time testing which one of those domains are necessary for the site to work and which one are just tracking or serving ads.

Having an actual ad blocker would save us time, as the ad blocker has its own blacklist of domains that do tracking or serves ads, so we don't need to find and block each one those domains manually.
