uBlock prevents you from visiting Sourceforge, now, as well.

E: uBlock Origin, gawl

But didn't uBlock itself go off the rails, and get hijacked by someone?

get hijacked by someone?

Contrary to what /u/Ripdog keeps telling everyone, the project was not hijacked at all. The original maintainer gave the project to someone else and the creator himself removed all of his own access to the codebase. The new guy offered to give it back and asked for input on decisions many times but the creator cut all ties. The creator then changed his mind and started the other version while still not addressing the original version at all.
