As reported here, uBlock added a user tracking feature. Well, after news spread on Reddit, uBlock on Firefox has been reverted to the almost three year old version by the Firefox team, as can be seen here and on Mozilla.org (note version on left sidebar is now Version 0.9.5.0.1-let-fixed Last updated 3 years ago (Oct 31, 2015)).

    Who in their right mind uses uBlock over UbO? This is the first update this thing has seen in years, its basically a rip off from the original author. The "admins" solicited donations at one point and have never contributed any meaningful code. This prompted gorhill to get pissed and keep working on UBO, which btw is at version 1.16 while this is at .9.

    How cute, somebody who thinks there are hard rules as to what version numbers mean.
