Summary:
It would be nice if would be possible to group rules in the content blocker json. With this you could enable more specific whitelist rules. See the example I provide.

Imagine a list where you have  at first some rule for blocking ads on specific pages. Then you have whitelist entries with ignore-previous rules so that the ads won’t be blocked on these pages. Then you have some rules for blocking privacy intruding stuff. After this you want to apply a whitelist for those rules as well. The problems is now that those whitelist pages also ignore the ad blocking rules.

Here is a illustration:
==========
Ad-Block Rules
==========
Ad-Block Whitelist
==========
Privacy-Block Rules
==========
Privacy-Whitelist
==========

Privacy-Whitelist also ignores Ad-Block Rules

Steps to Reproduce:
Create a list with the similar rule set as above and load it in Safari

Expected Results:
I would expect a syntax for the json that lets you create groups of rules.

An example would be:
{
	group: 	„Ad-Block rules,
	rules:
			{
				//rules here
			}
},
{
	group: 	„Privacy rules,
	rules:
			{
				//rules here
			}
}

ignore-previous rules would now only ignore all the previous rules only in its group. If you want to apply it global place it outside the rules.

I think this would be possible to implement efficiently.

Actual Results:
There is no possibility to group rules.
