The more filters you use will cause uBlock Origins memory consumption to increase, although the developers claim that this still remains low compared with most popular adblockers out there.

Chrome: uBlock Origin at Chrome Web Store.So the original uBlock extension got handed over to uBlock Origin. – gorhill renamed and rebranded his version of ublock to uBlock Origin. Apparently this was because of the naming issue (since technically chrismatic has control of the repo). – gorhill took exception to this and asked chrismatic to change the name so people didn’t confuse uBlock (the original, now called uBlock Origin) and uBlock (chrismatic’s version) – chrismatic promptly added donate buttons and a “made with love by Chris” note. – he handed the repository to chrismatic while maintaining control of the extension in the Chrome webstore (by forking chrismatic’s version back to himself). – gorhill got tired of dozens of “my facebook isnt working plz help” issues. It seems both had mixed intentions for the project, resulting in the rename. The plugin was originally created by gorhill and got help from chrismatic.
