Huh? Blocking senders as you surf the web based on what you want to see is a completely different problem from blocking requests to your server based on what the intent of the requester is. I can think of no way these problems are similar except in the very narrow technical sense of maintaining a blocklist and attaching it to a request cycle, which is really not the hard part of either of these problems.
