Comment on uBlock Origin is no longer available in the Chrome store
Cris_Color@lemmy.world 2 days agoIs 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’).

Thank you! I thought I vaguely remembered something along those lines but didn’t know any details
Hope you have a lovely day :)
