== Added some clarification of between uBlock Origin and uBlock ==

Hi all, I modified the History chapter to reflect it more factually.

To summarize, Chris didn't 'fork' uBlock, Hill transferred the official repo to him, but later re-forked it to his own user namespace, which became today's uBlock Origin. I added references too.

Disclaimer: I'm no Chris "supporter" and find his commercial practice questionable, but the old writing was simply wrong and has mislead people before (see [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19666808 my original comments] on Hacker News). --[[User:Fireattack|fireattack]] ([[User talk:Fireattack|talk]]) 19:41, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Is this better at evading detection?

I need a better ad-blocker that isn't detected by sites, which is why I want this. Here's a couple sites for example, that can detect adblock, can this evade it (and block the ads) The snare (talk) 02:50, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a blog. Rewrite or remove. • SbmeirowTalk10:23, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's not supposed to be, it's for discussion- to see if anyone knows and can add it to the article, how it compares to other blockers.The snare (talk) 13:45, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Needs mention of third-party filters to allow firewall access to

e.g., malwaredomains.com

malwaredomains.com and similar deserve an article on Wikipedia, if they don't have one already. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ocdcntx (talkcontribs)

Move version history to own page

How about creating own page for the version history? That long version history table just adds clutter to the article. Just leave couple of notable changes to the article, and move rest to own page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.23.112.148 (talk) 12:14, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure we need it at all, see WP:NOTCHANGELOG. - Ahunt (talk) 15:16, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What is the revenue model?

What funds the development of this and uMatrix plugins? 59.92.59.0 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:50, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As the article states "The project specifically refuses donations." And the ref cited says "Free. Open source. For users by users. No donations sought." There is no funding at all, it is all done as a hobby. - Ahunt (talk) 20:24, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The same amount paid to most Wikipedia editors, zero. • SbmeirowTalk23:23, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

EasyList probably should not redirect to AdBlock Plus's page

EasyList should probably not redirect to ABP's page. It predates ABP, it's not maintained by ABP's parent company, it officially supports three different ad blockers, and they do not officially recommend any particular one. Notriddle (talk) 20:45, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you can think of a better place to redirect it fine, but perhaps the best solution is to turn the redirect into an article itself, if enough sources can be located. - Ahunt (talk) 12:45, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Added some clarification of between uBlock Origin and uBlock

Hi all, I modified the History chapter to reflect it more factually.

To summarize, Chris didn't 'fork' uBlock, Hill transferred the official repo to him, but later re-forked it to his own user namespace, which became today's uBlock Origin. I added references too.
