Raymond Hill created the uBlock ad blocker, and now maintains uBlock Origin (https://github.com/gorhill)

Why is Raymond Hill not working on uBlock anymore? Why is there uBlock and uBlock Origin?

He stopped working on it and gave it away to someone else, who promptly used it to raise "donations". This led him to decide to fork back the project under the name "uBlock Origin".

It's contentious. The new owner posted seemingly highly inflated estimates of costs for the project. Another issue is the new owner also removed any reference to the original developer, including in the project's Wikipedia page.
