There are several ad-network type domains which I never want to enable. e.g. doubleclick.net, amazon-adsystem.com. These domains being blocked are never responsible for a broken site.

It would be great to be able to hide these domains - put them on some kind of blacklist. That way, when I visit a new page and it's a bit broken I can immediately see a small list of domains to try allowing to fix the site.

Yes, I consider this an important issue. I am probably going to rewrite parts of the backend, which will then enable much better customization, and hopefully a better code structure. I think I will implement "Location Groups", which means that you can group several domains (locations) to a common name, e.g. facebook.com and facebook.net to [facebook] or doubleclick.net, amazon-adsystem.com, … to [blacklist]. As soon as we have the ability to add groups in the backend, we can think about how to implement the user interaction. Of course, we could assign properties to a group like "always hidden" or whatever.

Great, that's another feature that I've been hoping for! It would also solve #454.
