AFAIK: U-Block Origin is a fork of U-Block which hopes to stay in sync with U-Block, but maintain a per-site block/allow feature which was removed from the newer version of U-Block.

I'm curious to know what will happen with all the user data on their systems. There was a site floating around which allowed you to access your playlist information just by entering your account email. I assume that was old public data.
And with services like this, is there any threat to users who access 'illegal' material?

Could you explain how rot13 helps?
