Anti-Spoiler Feature

Hi!

I think AdBlock could easily add a very convenient feature: avoiding spoilers on the web! You see, I'm sick of falling on spoilers on Facebook just the day following a new episode of a trending tv series, even if it is not a full spoiler we can guess what happened by the content or the tone of the post.

A simple way to do thing would be the possibility to block content with keywords. Ex: absolutely every post on Facebook or Twitter containing "Game of Thrones" or "Joffrey" or "Lannister", etc. would be blocked, censored, etc. (including the content of the posted hyperlink) Every anti-spoiler app or extension I tried so far just didn't work, even the commonly recommended Silencer (I suspect no blogger and tech writer who wrote about it actually tried it).

I would absolutely not mind to pay a few bucks for it if it works.

    OK. I've passed this on to our developers and they may look into it!
