For a while I used XBL from spamhaus but as the name implies it really
is made for smtp not web. Same rules apply though.

It wasn't "web focused" meaning I like my tin-foil hat and use dnsmasq
to block cookies and clicktrackers and the likes.
*.googlesyndication.com for example. Problem is this doesn't always
work as such companies are in business for a reason, some pages refuse
to load unless you have loaded the javascript of the
add/cookietracker/etc.
So for now I just block a few things manually. I have also uses the
firefox NoScript extension but building your own whitelist can get a
tad tedious with just about every site using javascript for navigation
these days. (I want those cool rolling menus! stuff content.)
