Hi Markus,

My patch adds a decidenavigation() callback, which is exactly where that interface would need to be called. I can add it to my branch with minimal effort, and even make a separate patch, but handling the dependency would need to be done in a way that conforms to the suckless philosophy. What do you do for that? Do you just offer it as a patch and let people solve the build porting themselves? Is there an example I can look at? 
 
Thank you,

Ben

Heyho,

Basic adblocking can easily be done with the /etc/hosts file[0]. However I also
plan to adapt the recent jumanji[1] adblock.[ch] files from their repositories
develop branch to be usable in surf. However I have no idea when I have the
time to get it done, so maybe someone of you guys is faster. ;)
