This port is just a python wrapper around Brave browser's adblock library
which just looks like is uses rulesets similar to what Adblock Plus, Ublock
Origin and other such tools use. I doubt that it does any DNS lookups (which
is why I didn't consider that category), and Qutebrowser added this as a
dependency to be more flexible than their current host based filtering.
