ublock is nice. it uses the same definitions as adblock plus but it also makes the ad think you saw it, so it doesn't hurt content creators

Yes they changed names I think last month

 

No they are not the same thing. 

 

Ublock was the first version that used to be great until the dev team got too big and the original dev decided it wasn't going the way he envisioned it to be. He then left and created Ublock Origin and he intends to keep it lean and fast. You should be using UB:O.

Well, the confusion was probably because my browser updated automatically to UB:O
