1.) Is it possible to set-up a white-list only filter? In other words, rather than specifically naming the sites I want to block, is it possible to instead write it in a way that it blocks everything that I don't specifically allow?
2.) Is there a way to create a webOS application which would allow me to edit my hosts file on the phone, rather than copying the file from my desktop? Would it be possible through a standard webOS app or PDK app, or would I be required to create a homebrew application to do this?
Thank you very much for your help!
1.) No, not with a hosts file. That's not how a hosts file works. A hosts file just specifies an IP address for a website. The way it works for ad-blocking is to set known ad servers to localhost (127.0.0.1)
2.) Dunno?
