There are a couple of products for this already: "AdTrap" and for the Raspberry Pi "pihole". (Content warning on https://pi-hole.net/ : contains piping curl into bash, slow-loading SPA site)

Pi-hole is great and I had no trouble setting it up, but I couldn't continue using it as it constantly triggered NoScript's ABE (Application Boundaries Enforcer) which blocks scripts served from a LAN address. This is for a good reason, and it may be possible to white-list the Pi in the ABE settings, but I didn't have a good enough understanding of the implications to feel comfortable just allowing it or disabling ABE.
I use the Pi-hole setup, but on my desktop computer instead of a RaspberryPi... just follow the instructions to "Setting It Up Manually" [1]
