Last I heard the person controlling the repo was doing funny stuff like removing the info of the creators and there was some dispute over control. Any idea what's up?


> removing the info of the creators

More accurately it was about importing code changes manually without attribution, thus forfeiting authorship info in the commits. I believe it's all resolved now. The person is a kid (to me), I had no idea, so when I learned this I see this differently now, he was just being misguided. I originally thought I was dealing with a fully grown adult, so I did not hold back on the criticism. My own mistake was to not consider I was maybe dealing with such a young person.

The original author now maintains "uBlock Origin" because of this funny business (see https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/).
