Uhh, no. Eyeo does not own uBlock Origin. Eyeo is AdBlock Plus and they own uBlock by uBlock, LLC. uBlock Origin is a Free Open Source Project developed by Raymond Hill. From their manifesto: “The uBO project does not support Adblock Plus’ “Acceptable Ads Manifesto” because the “Acceptable Ads” marketing campaign is the business plan of a for-profit entity.”
That’s a massive accidental misinformation blunder from the journalist.
EDIT: added some details that might get confusing because Eyeo are a bunch of ass hats.

Yea that is very confusing, especially when UBO is often referred to as simply UBlock. Thanks for the info.
