@yukulele Take look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock_Origin to get difference and compare development cycle (commits) of both project

@krystian3w According to the Chrome Web Store, the lastest release of gorhill/uBlock (uBlock Origin) is 1.16.4 available as of May 5, 2018. This is very recent.

@yukulele It's up to you.

I ended up choosing uBlock Origin based on Github activity. Contributions to -Origin and -Admin are primarily from the owners (gorhill and uBlockAdmin, respectively). Both projects have been around since at least 2016. Here is a comparison of commit activity from 2017 until today:

gorhill 2017 commits

ublockadmin 2017 commits

It looks like -Origin is more consistent in contributions from the author over time, presumably with bug fixes at the very least. -Admin has made large changes recently, but not consistently.

That said, I didn't compare features. I am interested in simple ad blocking, so I'm assuming either one will do.
