I've been using uBlock on Safari for quite a while now (I've got 0.9.5.2 version installed atm). I cannot find any info what is the difference between uBlock and the uBlock Origin, can anyone elaborate on this? Is the difference like between Adblock and Adblock Plus?

Long story short - uBlock Origin is a fork by the original developer who worked on uBlock.

  In addition, the uBlock Safari port has been dead for some time.

In addition to what madeofpalk writes, the uBlock Origin manifesto gives some context: https://github.com/el1t/uBlock-Safari/blob/safari/MANIFESTO.md https://github.com/el1t/uBlock-Safari/blob/safari/MANIFESTO.... >The uBlock project does not support Adblock Plus' "Acceptable Ads Manifesto", because the "Acceptable Ads" marketing campaign is really the business plan of a for-profit entity.
