hosts file hack didn't work for the stock browser - will try the firewall way soon (with DROP)

edit: tried with a huge firewall file (14,000+ lines) and it just chokes. Probably a memory thing? maybe with a swap file or some more playing. I'm done, as I don't surf with this anyway - WAY TOOOO SLOWWWWW!
I used the iptables format from above, replaced all the eth0 with wlan0, all the REJECT with DROP, and all the /sbin/iptables with /usr/sbin/iptables, cut the junk out, then ran as a script. It tried to load then just keeps trying forever.
