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.
