Ad-zapping Hackery

Oh sure. It's trivial. Based on debian package adzapper, hooked into squid, there's this:

% cat adzapper.conf|grep extr
ZAP_POSTMATCH=/etc/adzapper.extra

And adzapper.extra holds basically this:

ADJS http://*.intellitxt.com/intellitxt/**

It worked well for a long time, but there are clones nowadays and I guess you'd have to extend it.
