    gorhill had to exclude @pgl's list and uBlock Origin's badware list from uBlock Origin Lite Safari, as the way Safari counted the rules caused these lists to count has far more rules than they would in Chrome or Firefox.
    Safari's odd counting inflated the number of rules in these lists to the point where they made it difficult to enable regional lists since enabling other lists would cause the number of filters to exceed the maximum allowed.

    There now is a version of uBlock Origin Lite for Apple's Safari browser.

    uBlock Origin last supported Safari back in 2019.

    #uBlockOriginLite maker ends #Firefox store support, slams #Mozilla for hostile reviews
    #FirefoxExtension for uBlock Origin Lite content blocker is no longer available. "Raymond Hill, the maker of the extension, pulled support and moved uBlock Origin Lite to self-hosting after multiple encounters with a 'nonsensical and hostile' review process from the store review team."
    It is worth noting that the original #uBlockOrigin for Firefox is still available and supported.

    Breaking, from Kia: gorhill will not maintain a Firefox version of uBlock Origin Lite.
    This comes after Mozilla erroneously flagged uBlock Origin Lite, leading gorhill to remove the extension from the Mozilla Addons Store: infosec.exchange/@iampytest1/1

    According to a member of the uBlock Origin team, and a Mozilla employee (different people):
    gorhill has voluntarily taken down uBlock Origin Lite from the Mozilla Addons store and did not request Mozilla re-review the extension.
    gorhill has announced the extension will only be available to be downloaded from GitHub.
    This comes after Mozilla erroneously flagged an update to uBlock Origin Lite as violating their data collection polices. Mozilla did not remove the extension, and just blocked new updates.
    A Mozilla employee raised the issue internally, but it seems gorhill is unwilling to appeal, originally stating

    I don't have the time or motivation to spend time on this nonsense, so I will let AMO do whatever they want with uBOL.

    This is a developing story, and new or corrected information may come out.
