I ask about renaming the product back in 2016 [1] and the author response was:

I won't change the name -- it is too well established now.

It's unfortunate that ublock.org causes confusion, but in the end he is hurting himself more in the long run than he is hurting uBlock Origin, it's a conscious choice he made to scam people,[1][2] he will have to deal with whatever consequences there is doing so.

I did not know that. Well, I am sorry that he has to deal with this BS. These kind of issues drains a lot energy especially when it comes to OS software.

Going by what happened to the verious 'adblock' extensions I think changing the name is a temporary solution at best.

Without some kind of strong trademark protection it's apparently impossible to not have extensions with misleadingly similar names pop up.

Consider gorhill may not have the resources or interest in doing all this work. uBlock Origin is a fantastic free product but it's a little chaotic. I wish it could be different.

I totally understand that. It is not an easy job.

Are you being serious? Is this how you discuss with people around you?

You know lawyers cost money right?
