Yes, as one can see from their official web page, Puffin uses their own network and tunnels traffic, we can't do anything here.
Quote from Puffin's FAQ:
18. Q: Does Puffin support any content-filtering features?
Puffin does not support content-filtering at this moment. If you currently use 3rd party’s content-filtering service, Puffin will bypass the service.

a comment from the forum:
I think it wont run on puffin because puffin is runing like virtual machine and it s not directly data streamed on android like other browsers so adblock cant detect it.i think that that is the reason but i may be wrong.
