Would it be possible to do an OS level ad blocker that works similarly to uBO?

Seems unlikely with how many different ways ui elements are handles across an OS (including apps that do their own rendering). Though I bet you could block some subset of well known ones and block a lot of the network traffic that feeds ads.
