I don't.  The URL rewriter gets only the domain name and IP
address of the server the request would otherwise be sent to.

Before the HTTPS revolution, I could block specific pages.  Now,
I can block only whole domains.  When the rewriter gets a match
on the domain name, it replaces the request with this URL:

        http://127.0.0.1/bogosity

(I do not have a local web server running on a default port.)

It sometimes leaves odd-looking things where ads would have been.
