Yes, it is metamorphical lol. Gorhill is the creator of both uBlock and uBlock Origin. However, he gave the uBlock github repo to another dev, who sold it to adblock plus. Do not download uBlock.

However, he did fork uBlock and continued to develop his own version, now named uBlock Origin. Do download uBlock Origin.

PSA: ublock.org is not related to uBlock Origin.
