Ad-blocking support

[xplosionmind]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

My current Plash page is the main page of a news website. It is clammed with ads. Since the purpose of having a webpage as the desktop wallpaper is having the most important things ready at a glance, this becomes useless since 2/3 of the page are made of ads, and only 1/3 of news.

Describe the solution you'd like

Either:

• the ability of choosing an installed browser (e.g. Firefox) as the rendering engine, together with all of the extensions it includes. In this way, I would have the page beautifully displayed.
• adding an ad-blocking service, embedded in Plash. Since uBlock Origin is open source, I do not think it is a hard task.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Keeping the homepage as-is
• changing news website, even if most of them have the same issue

This is not possible. Plash deeply depends on the bundled WebKit version in macOS.

A web view is not the same as a full browser. Plash uses a web view. It's not possible to directly integrate a Safari extension.
