Today though, I'd recommend skimming through uBlock Origin's Github readme: https://github.com/gorhill. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
I think trying to piggy-back upon the success of Gorhill's uBlock and uMatrix with your naming, is a bit snidey. https://github.com/gorhill. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
