There is an open source project called GlimmerBlocker that is used
to block ads. You could look at the source and figure out how they
block html requests.
It says right on the home page:
GlimmerBlocker is implemented as an http proxy, so the stability of
Safari isn't compromised because it doesn't use any hacks. It is
even compatible with all other browsers.
Proxying was suggested and rejected earlier in this thread, I think.
One issue is that users can generally control their own proxy settings
(via the network system pref). Also, some browsers like Firefox ignore
the system proxy settings and have their own prefs for setting them up.
