Thank you so much for the detailed 5-star review and your kind words! ❤️ It really means a lot.
Yes, exactly — the main purpose of my skinned version (CBlock Origin, aka China's uBlock Origin) is to help my compatriots in China, where the original uBo (and many other blockers like ABP) have been blocked on AMO (see this article for more details: https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/485321226 — in Chinese but auto-translate should handle it fine). On top of that, GitHub.com is often blocked by China's Great Firewall, making manual .xpi installs unrealistic for most people. And for Chrome users in China, accessing the Chrome Web Store is basically impossible since google.com services are banned entirely.
So I did what I could: forked and re-skinned uBo to bypass those blocks and make it accessible again for folks who need it badly.
That said, thank u again for your support! 🙏 But since you're using English and likely don't have Big Brother in your country, I actually recommend sticking with the official upstream uBlock Origin whenever possible — my version always lags a bit behind because of AMO review delays. The original is more up-to-date and gets the latest fixes/filters faster.
Appreciate you taking the time to write such a thoughtful review — it motivates me to keep maintaining this! 😊
