There seems to be lots of confusion around this topic.

gorhill is the original author of uBlock, but when he handed the project off to someone else, he found that they didn't live up to ethical standards, which is why gorhill started uBlock Origin. That other person owns ublock.org, so it makes sense to filter that domain.

Thanks for the background. The relevant Wikipedia page doesn't provide detail beyond "a fork happened" and I was curious how the project creator ended up on the side of the fork with a different name and no access to the original domain.
