Bug/issue fixing is as important -- if not more -- as adding useful features.
Reported [issues have been, and continue to fixed in uBlock Origin](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed+sort%3Aupdated-desc).
As of writing (2015-08-28), uBlock development has been essentially stalled for weeks now, and this includes [bug fixing](https://github.com/chrisaljoudi/uBlock/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed+sort%3Aupdated-desc) (despite the maintainer's claim that the _"uBlock team works to develop and design uBlock"_ on his [donation page](https://donorbox.org/ublock)).

Nonsense. Nonsense.
What makes uBlock efficient is the core filtering engine, which is composed of many parts. The filtering engine was mature at the time of the fork, and aside [some refactoring in uBlock Origin](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/2234933b82d1c17af42ba574b6515937c7515029#diff-522a16ddeed280252d7c3a351261b441) to fix [issue #58](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/58) and [issue #59](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/59), the core filtering engine is essentially the same in both branches, i.e. virtually same performance.
