No, it replicates the HTTP REQUESTS (basically text files) made by the browser

No. If they did, they would block the app completely. The browser sends these HTTP requests when you do things in the browser. The program is replicating between the browser and SC server. There is no difference

It doesn't BLOCK ads per se, just doesn't make the request.
The program replicates the requests made by a browser that are required to do what is specified. Other requests not required are not made.
