As of version 1.11.0, the quoted passage below is not longer true -- uBlock Origin will no longer use the resource `checksums/ublock0.txt` (the quoted text will be removed once version 1.11.0 is widespread):

The only time uBlock Origin connects to a remote server is to update the filter lists and other related assets. If you disable auto-update in the _"3rd-party filters"_ pane in the dashboard, uBlock Origin will not connect to any remote server, unless you click _"Update now"_ and only if there are assets deemed "out of date".
The servers behind `githubusercontent.com` are owned by GitHub, Inc., and thus are unrelated to uBlock Origin, so even if I was interested in analytics (which I am not), I have no access to whatever data is logged by `githubusercontent.com`.
