I agree. From this project I discover FreeContributor [1], which use dnsmasq has a DNSBL.

Is it possible to apply this at the network level? I want to update my home router easily so that all devices in my home can benefit, not just my own laptop (since most of these lists are just updating /etc/hosts)

If your router runs dnsmasq, it should be possible. It would depend upon your router, however, and how much control it allows you over the dnsmasq configuration.

Is it possible to apply this at the network level?

Yes. Please check pi-hole project [1] or flash your router with open-wrt/dd-wrt and run dnsmasq with the FreeContributor lists.

do people usually do this directly on their FIOS router or is it easier to get a separate wifi router?

oh you configure the fios router to use that as your dns:
