That’s the unencrypted DNS version. The adblocking will work but your queries won’t be encrypted. You’ll either have to configure it on your browser, or configure system-resolved like what is written in the article that was posted.

Other options are Aha DNS and Control D.

If your distro makes use of systemd, just use resolved: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd-resolved#Manually
