Your question is impossible to answer correctly until you define
"unwanted content". In other words, you need to define what you want to
block (in general, non-HTTP terms) before it is possible to identify a
subset of HTTP messages that can deliver the corresponding content. What
is "desired" by some is "unwanted" by others, so we cannot guess what
_your_ blocking objectives are.
