Comment on YouTube’s Crackdown Spurs Record Uninstalls of Ad Blockers

Uhh, no. Eyeo does not owns uBlock. Eyeo is AdBlock Plus? uBlock Origin is a Free Open Source Project developed by Raymond Hill. From their manifesto: “The uBO project does not support Adblock Plus’ “Acceptable Ads Manifesto” because the “Acceptable Ads” marketing campaign is the business plan of a for-profit entity.”

Yea that is very confusing, especially when UBO is often referred to as simply UBlock. Thanks for the info.
