The original developer forked it because the new maintainer he had entrusted it to was trying to monetise by collecting donations under alleged false pretenses, while allegedly removing attribution of other previous contributors. Many/most of those previous contributors to original uBlock went on to follow the original dev and contribute to the Origin fork.
