It is officially one "team" now https://eyeo.com/teaming-up-for-new-products-the-teams-behin...

Historically, it always seemed like it was one company though as Adblock codebase has been based on Adblock plus codebase for years, and they both use Acceptable ads.

Edit to avoid confusion: Fake "uBlock" (not to be confused with uBlock Origin) is owned by AdBlock https://www.ublock.org/blog/an-update-on-ublock/

... and what does that have to do with uBlock? (EDIT: and if you edit in answers to questions into your original comment, please mark that as an edit)

uBlock (Not origin) was acquired by AdBlock (not plus), look under the uBlock header here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock_Origin#uBlock

That article is about the team(s) behind Adblock and Adblock Plus. It has nothing to do with uBlock Origin.
