[Desktop] Do not apply cosmetic filtering, in default setting, to general-purpose search web search engines that we have vetted

[pes10k]

We should not apply cosmetic filterings to search engine ads, for well known, reputable, general-purpose search engines, who generally have 1p or 1p-like (re yahoo.com and yimg.com) ads.

Note that this would not change in anyway network rules / blocking, which would continue to be applied universally.

Cosmetic filtering should still be applied to these sites (and all sites) when blocking is in aggressive / max mode.

Search engines covered by this list:

• duckduckgo.com
• qwant.com
• bing.com
• startpage.com
• yahoo.com
• onesearch.com
• google.com
• yandex.com

We should also apply this cosmetic-filtering-off-by-default settings to the other eTLD+1 variants of the above.
