>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.
