Is there an ad blocker?::
With version 2.0.0, if the Python adblock library is available, it will be used
to integrate Brave's Rust adblocker library for improved adblocking

for improved adblocking, based on
https://help.eyeo.com/en/adblockplus/how-to-write-filters[ABP-like filter lists]
(such as https://easylist.to/[EasyList]).
If that library is unavailable or on older versions of qutebrowser, a
simpler built-in ad blocker is used instead. It takes `/etc/hosts`-like lists
and thus is only able to block entire hosts.
