- rdl 11y agoI read this and the wiki page and still have no idea which I should run (usually Chrome / Mac if that matters). I'm using non-Origin right now.
- theGimp 11y agoSorry, I thought they linked to this https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Maintainership-transfer-of-uBlock:-post-mortem/7ad6eb98a72d63060a73374720d383ad841af29a https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Maintainership-transf... Note: that's an old version. The current revision is here https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Maintainership-transfer-of-uBlock%3A-post-mortem https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Maintainership-transf... It doesn't seem to matter which fork you use, but I personally use uBlock Origin
- frik 11y agoSo the original author transferred ownership (incl. github page) to a the uBlock community, in reality to one of them. It turned out he handed it over to s kid who in turn made some weird source code changes and asked prominently for money/donations. This scheme seems to popular with adblockers, afaik the original AdBlock and the AdBlockPlus had a similar "relationship". And later a German company took over AdBlockPlus in a similar manner and is doing big business in a gray area (whitelisting domains costs ad networks a lot of money and is absurd for an adblocker!?)
