Just wanted to say :
Try supporting and using '
ublock origin' instead of 'ublock' because it is the original ublock project and has many more filters and features than 'ublock'
There is
much development going on with 'ublock origin' as well, if you use Firefox, you may want to try the beta/alpha builds as they come, mostly daily or weekly, on the other hand, the 'ublock' has lesser updates going on. Just check the repo and see the commits of both the projects.

"The whole uBlock vs uBlock Origin debacle explained:
uBlock was made by Raymond Hill(gorhill)
uBlock gets a lot of users fairly quickly.
uBlock gets supporting contributors.
gorhill gets fed up with misinformed and highly entitled users demanding things from him as if this open source addon was a paid-for product.
gorhill hands over the original uBlock repository on github to a random contributor.
The random contributor adds donation buttons and accidentally claims he created uBlock and this causes backlash from the community.
gorhill forks uBlock into uBlock Origin and starts rapidly developing this new fork.
The contributor that took over the old fork apologizes for his actions and offers to give back the original repo to gorhill.
gorhill has the contributor make some small change to make it clear that uBlock was not created by the contributor but says he'll just work on the uBlock Origin fork instead of combining them.
The random contributors continue work on uBlock but so far there hasn't been any decent development because they are inexperienced(the maintainer of the uBlock repo is 17 or something).
uBlock Origin has had some actual noticeable improvements made to it already and it is highly likely that the Origin fork will just take over as people become more informed about which is "better".
Have a great day flocks.
