The problem is that for example a privacy blacklist may prevent a request
for sending the referrer. Another thing they can block are cookies. That
means that probably the only thing we can do before all blacklists are
loaded is connecting to the host (which is still a win). Is it possible to
do that using ResourceHandlers?
And of course the performance of loading blacklists from disk is considered
to be critical. They are stored in one binary file on disk, in a simple
format.
