uBlock was the original name for the add-on that subsequently was ethically compromised/"sold out to" advertisers
uBlock Origin is the 2nd version written by the original author (gorhill) and is not compromised.
Just wasn't sure which you are talking about
- lolinder 3y agoI appreciate what you're trying to do here, but when I search for "uBlock" on Firefox's Add-ons, only uBlock Origin comes up in the first 6 pages. It looks like it's still available (and even "Featured") in the Chrome ecosystem, but in the context of Firefox it's no longer ambiguous which one they're referring to. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?page=1&q=ublock https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?page=1&q=ub...
- fsckboy 3y agoIt's good to know people are unlikely to get the wrong one. It's still called uBlock Origin, and in general I don't think keeping track contextually of when you can get away with a name collision is a great way to do things, and this is an area of privacy concern so I think many of the people interested in the space would like to remain educated about it.
