A comment on UBlock Origin for Safari.

I've been using uBlock on Safari for quite a while now (I've got 0.9.5.2 version installed atm). I cannot find any info what is the difference between uBlock and the uBlock Origin, can anyone elaborate on this? Is the difference like between Adblock and Adblock Plus?

In addition to what madeofpalk writes, the uBlock Origin manifesto gives some context:

>The uBlock project does not support Adblock Plus' "Acceptable Ads Manifesto", because the "Acceptable Ads" marketing campaign is really the business plan of a for-profit entity.

Long story short - uBlock Origin is a fork by the original developer who worked on uBlock.

In addition, the uBlock Safari port has been dead for some time.

Not that that's stopped the ex-maintainer from soliciting donations for it.
