The extension was awarded "Pick of the Month" by Mozilla for May 2016. In January 2016, uBlock Origin was added to the repositories for Debian 9 and Ubuntu 16.04. The report attributed the growth to the desire of users for pure blockers outside the "acceptable advertising" program. Raymond Hill, the founder and original author of uBlock, as of 2015, continued to work on the extension under the name uBlock Origin, sometimes stylized as uBlock0, and abbreviated as uBO.Ī joint Sourcepoint and comScore survey reported an 833% growth rate over a ten-month tracking period ending in August 2015, the strongest growth among software listed. UBlock Origin remains independent and does not allow ads for payment. In July 2018, was acquired by AdBlock, and since February 2019, uBlock began allowing "Acceptable Ads", a program run by Adblock Plus that allows some ads which are deemed "acceptable", and for which the larger publishers pay a fee. In response, uBlock's founder Raymond Hill stated that "the donations sought by are not benefiting any of those who contributed most to create uBlock Origin."

This version was later renamed uBlock Origin and it has been completely divorced from Aljoudi's uBlock. However, Hill immediately self-forked it and continued the effort there. "The uBlock project official repository was transferred to Chris Aljoudi by original developer Raymond Hill in April 2015, due to frustration of dealing with requests. I do believe there was a bit more drama surrounding the original ublock transfer than described here, but this gives the general idea.
