Include instructions about where to get adblockparser from in case its not
installed?

If a user doesn't have it installed, it will cause an error in the imports of
this file, so a module comment should be a quick & easy way to make that
eventuality less painful.

[Benoit L, 2016/01/26 13:31:13]

Done.

Is this 50% threshold necessary? I would think that all of the resources would
be ad-related.

At any rate, arbitrary thresholds always make me nervous.

[Benoit L, 2016/01/26 13:31:13]

Changed to a configurable threshold.
In practice, not all requests from ad frames are marked as ads. I guess that
makes sense, since an ad frame can still use JQuery, for instance.
