uBlock Origin is an entirely volunteer-run project. There is very little reason to trust that it will be around for any particular amount of time.

And the person you're talking to is the main dev.

Based on his past actions, I feel comfortable trusting and using uBO until he decides he's done.

I had no idea! But, my point is specifically about when “he decides he’s done.”

IIRC the developer said when he's done he is not going to transfer ownership. It's open source so it can live on, but not under the same name.
