What is just uBlock anyway? Kagi only shows uBlock origin for me when I search for "uBlock"
So the creator of ublock found he had taken on more than he could handle and transferred ownership of ublock to someone else. That project stopped getting updated and was eventually acquired by Adblockplus which is a for profit company that lets advertisers pay to be whitelisted.
Ublock origin is from the original creator of ublock and was original intended as his personal version of the extension free of the responsibilities he agreed to with ublock.
I can't imagine the temptations and harassments he faces over this extension. There's no way he's having an easy life being the target of the big bad tech.
