Following entry is in my systemlog:
daemon.info dnsmasq[1]: using only locally-known addresses for farai.org.zw
I have absolutely no clue what it is and how to remove it. My wild bet it is not good.
I am using adblock as well but I am failing to understand how this is related to adblock.
It is Adblock.
Adblock adds DNS info for the blocked sites by defining them as non-existent domains to be answered from local info. Dnsmasq shows them in log, but only shows a dozen, not all.
Longer example shows it more clearly. From my system:

Thank you very much for your quick answer. I guess, it is a non-event then.
