Could you build this?
Partial A basic ad blocker built on public filter lists, such as EasyList, is vibe-codeable. A competitive one needs a system-wide interception layer and continuous maintenance against ad evasion.
What it would actually take: A real version runs as a local proxy, a browser extension, or a system DNS/filtering service, using maintained filter lists and a rules engine. The hard parts are system-level interception (certificates or kernel drivers) and keeping up with anti-adblock changes, which needs networking and security expertise.
