  Is regular uBlock made by the same guy? I think there was a situation with ublock or something that resulted in origin being made or something like that. I’m not sure if the regular ublock is a good project

    basically gorhill forked his own project into ‘ublock origin’ and gave the original ‘ublock’ to someone else.

    the original kinda fizzled out after that person tried to solicit donations. ‘ublock’ was then sold to ‘adblock’ and restarted-sorta.

    a few years later, eyeo (known for ‘adblockplus’) bought ‘adblock’ (and with it, what became of the original ‘ublock’).
