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. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 23:23, 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]

"ΜBlock Origin" listed at Redirects for discussion

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, Raymond Hill transferred the official repo to him. Of course, Raymond re-forked it back later (actually almost immediately after) 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 my original comments on Hacker News). --fireattack (talk) 19:41, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
