www/py-adblock [1] as its primary use will be in and for browsers (in
this case qutebrowser (also in www)
Previous adblock related ports have also been in www/:
https://www.freshports.org/www/adblock/
https://www.freshports.org/www/xpi-adblock_plus
https://www.freshports.org/www/xpi-uBlock_origin/
https://www.freshports.org/www/ziproxy/
One may consider adding 'net' as a secondary if it can be used outside
the browser (www) context (say like a pihole thingy)
[1] noting the "canonical" and registered PyPI name from this project is
'adblock' not 'python-adblock' (the repo name)
