I need to build an URL blocker script that would block requests to a
given set of URLs.

With whatever knowledge I have so far, DOM doesn't have any 'change'
event itself; so practically this seems impossible. So I have changed
the problem statement to - "Remove any element from the DOM as soon as
possible after it makes a request to a blocked URL".

1) SCRIPT - since changing the src attribute of a SCRIPT element
doesn't make any difference to the DOM, only the new SCRIPT elements
need to be tracked against blocked URLs.

2) IFRAME & IMG - both of these types need to be tracked for existing
as well as new elements being added in the DOM against the blocked
URLs.

The approach I'm thinking of is to start an interval, collect existing
target elements, check the src attributes and remove those elements
from DOM.

And may be, innerHTML and appendChild methods can be overwritten to do
a pre-check for blocked URLs.

Can you please suggest better approaches? I need to have a 'best
possible' solution - need not be perfect and 100% full-proof.
