This is fantastic news, especially if this fork is well maintained and/or gets merged upstream. Safari has the lightest battery usage and fastest speed by far of any browser on my Macbook, but it sucks that the best extensions aren't always available.

I read this yesterday and fired up Safari for the first time. Once I got uBlock installed and my settings the way I wanted, the experience was fine, except one thing. There seems to be a tiny delay when I tap-to-click on the trackpad (2012 MBP). Does anyone else get that? It's the only problem I have with Safari, but it'll almost annoying enough to drive me back to Chrome.

There's a [dead] comment replying to this that seems like a perfectly reasonable, non-inflammatory question. What's going on?

Likely a banned account. If you think it's worthwhile, you can click "vouch" to reanimate it, as it were.

>or gets merged upstream

I don't understand what that means. Do you mean that it will be updated automatically on your Safari once you download it initially?

This repo is a fork of gorhill/uBlock. Merging it upstream means merging the changes in this fork back to gorhill/uBlock so that majority of the UO community can enjoy the Safari compatibility of UO and this fork's user base can enjoy bugfixes from the gorhill/uBlock. And as users of ad blockers, we don't end up with 2 similar but slightly different softwares.

Ideally, this fork should be merged back as a PR to the original repo instead of advertising it as-is.

By merging it upstream, I would be updated by the creator of uBlock Origin, instead of updates coming from someone else.
