uBlock Origin has prevented the following page from loading:

Because of the following filter

Found in: uBlock filters – Badware risks
- Frenchgeek 8y agoConfirmed. I non longer use uBlock Origin.
- tgtweak 8y agoI thought it was a bit amusing.
- deskamess 8y agoIsn't ublock origin the 'good one'?
- hendersoon 8y agoYes, that is correct.

- 18pfsmt 8y agoThere seems to be lots of confusion around this topic. gorhill is the original author of uBlock, but when he handed the project off to someone else, he found that they didn't live up to ethical standards, which is why gorhill started uBlock Origin. That other person owns ublock.org, so it makes sense to filter that domain.
- chucksmash 8y agoThanks for the background. The relevant Wikipedia page doesn't provide detail beyond "a fork happened" and I was curious how the project creator ended up on the side of the fork with a different name and no access to the original domain.
- octosphere 8y agoI saw this too. I imagine the intention here is to drive away any interest in the non-good uBlock, i.e the uBlock that is not uBlock Origin.
- daveFNbuck 8y agoI think it's more to protect people like me who use uBlock Origin and clicked the link thinking it was on the site that makes my blocker.
