It seems that gorhill had this fantasy where he could just step away from the project and “the community” would take it over and keep it going in exactly the way he would have. It’s great that gorhill has a good paying job or is independently wealthy or something, but he shouldn’t get upset that once he abandoned the project the people who carried on the work thought it would be nice to get paid for it. He’s upset that the new maintainer is making it “about the money” by collecting donations and handing them out to the people who are working on the project. ![]() Gorhill is just a giant man baby, and still continues to be one. He did a video to try and explain this drama since people like to pick a single phrase like “stealing work/taking donations” and run with it. You do realize there are costs that Chris has to deal with uBlock right? And the donation were also split among the contributors that work on uBlock, he’s not stealing anything for himself, he’s also 17 for Christ sake. You are mad over Donation? LOL, they are not forced in anyway, are you also angry at gHacks for asking for them too because they are dying. ![]() ![]() As he said, it's nothing more than a money grab. He also firmly believes that NO UPDATES will be forthcoming for the other ublock port. So he basically did the 'up yours' and started another fork putting back the code that was removed etc. On December 13th 2014, wrote me, he was interested to “send over < $1,000 to support the work on the Safari version"īluntly said, my opinion from what I have observed, and in hindsight, I now believe primary motivation is to cash in on uBlock. To me it does appear most of the work by since taking over has been to market actively seeking donations to “make uBlock happens” Misrepresentation: uBlock is “made by Chris” UBlock is still the product of a whole lot of work by many different contributors I have exhausted all assumption of good faith I could give, this is currently what I see about the chrisaljoudi/uBlock repo: Gorhill was not happy with the new ‘owner’.
