uBlock Origin is the good one

I knew uBlock Origin was "the good one" but I didn't know its repo is called uBlock, it's quite confusing. Can you rename repos in github?

#5I somewhat wished that when Chrome switches to manifest v3, uBlock Origin would stop supporting Chrome and its clones.
Firefox is the only browser where uBlock Origin is actually working as intended, Chrome on the other hand (even in manifest v2) is blocking so many features that uBO isn't actually able to work as a privacy and anti-malware tool. CNAME uncloaking is essential because websites can counter any filter rule by just aliasing the Google Analytics domain but Chrome doesn't have an API for that. Instead you need a gigantic list of filter rules, one for each domain, making loading web pages slower.
uBO is even slower in Chrome because Chrome doesn't allow extensions to use wasm.

#6I can not even thank the existence of this project enough!
the simple improvement in internet speed is well worth it, even though i do too have a pihole running.
Sometimes when i visits friends i barely recognize sites that i use frequently.

It is confusing. I find it easier to remember that gorhill is the good guy.

To make things even more confusing gorhill is actually the creator of the original ublock too.

If i recall correctly, they have the same name because they were once the same project. Renaming would likely break many workflows/bookmarks that people use to tell the difference. Maybe mirroring the existing repo to another with origin in the name would be a compromise?

#10Pro tip: if you are concerned that you are spending too much time reading the internet, just uninstall ublock. You'll be so disgusted by the current state of affairs that you'll want to spend as little time online as possible.
