which u block are you folks using

mcLeod stinnett #15048 -- from mack read from the faq, FAQ uBlock vs. uBlock Origin: what's the difference? Citing frustration with the increasing volume of support and feature requests from users of uBlock, gorhill (the original developer behind uBlock) transferred ownership of the project to the current uBlock development team, composed of contributors to the original project. Chris Aljoudi is now the lead developer of uBlock. Alex Vallat heads Firefox development, bringing uBlock to hundreds of thousands of Mozilla fans. After transferring ownership of the uBlock project, gorhill forked uBlock into uBlock Origin, a personal fork for which he's been releasing builds and providing support via the extension's Chrome Web Store entry. After the transfer, there were some issues regarding wording and attribution. After consulting with gorhill, this was promptly addressed and resolved — gorhill and the team are content and satisfied with the resolution. Even though there were no malicious intents or actual conflicts within the team, various aggressive false rumors and accusations were being spread. Some of those are: •gorhill was forced to give up uBlock for legal reasons. •uBlock was "bought" from gorhill. •uBlock is attempting to monetize. •uBlock is an illegitimate "clone" of uBlock Origin. ... and various others. The accusations have no basis in truth, and probably rather the result of some form of the "telephone"/Chinese whispers game. It's been openly discussed and offered to transfer uBlock back to gorhill; he has declined the offer. Which one am I using? Should I switch to the other one? You can tell by looking at the uBlock icon: ublock icon You're welcome and should feel free to use either per your own judgment. If you're currently using uBlock Origin, you're welcome to move over to the main uBlock project. Please note that the uBlock development team only supports uBlock, not uBlock Origin. Thus, uBlock Origin-specific issues are under gorhill's control. back to uBlock Home -- from mack<p><br></p>

Shaun Everiss #15052 Hmmm interesting to know, thats company polotics for you. I have been using ublock origin for the last 3 years and have no plans to switch at the current time its previded me with no issue at all and is loads better than addblock+. It also helps that while not really needed ublock is the only 1 of the various security addons that made it over to thunderbird I don't know what I achieve with it on but I just installed it for no reason what so ever.

Brian's Mail list account #15087 I must have been living in a bubble then as I've not heard of these whispers. To me having two times the ideas means that the software can expand in ways that just one team might not think of. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.

George McCoy <slr1bpz@...> #15174 I use and will continue to use u block origin. I do so on the recommendation of Steve Gibson and a host of other nationally known security professionals.

Laughing Thunder #15181 uBlock Origin is a Firefox add-on, which is designed to block advertising and other types of trackers. If you use the Firefox web browser, choose add-ons from the tools menu, and search for uBlock Origin. You should be able to get it from there. toggle quoted messageShow quoted text On 2/17/2017 8:21 PM, Casey wrote: hi where can you get the program from?

Robert Mendoza #15184 If you can't find it here is the direct link of it. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/ Once you are into the page, just scroll down till you heard the linked that says "click to add to Firefox", then you are prompted to install in to your Firefox. Simply hit or pressed Alt plus I to install it then you browser will restarted. And, to check if the addons is fully install yew can check it under the Tools menu.
