He's using a very similar name and icon to the other uBlock. I don't think Google likes that in its store.

At least change the icon. And I would just name it uBlock Zero or something else entirely.

As a side note: gorhill, you were specifically criticized by others before for using the symbol μ in your extension's name, because that symbol doesn't exist on the keyboard. And now what do you do? You adopted "u" instead in the beginning, but started using subscript 0 in the new extension. Come on, man! Just use a name that's easy to write and tell others about!

Thanks for the feedback. I changed the logo and will use the more explicit name "uBlock Origin", though I will keep the short version uBlock<sub>0</sub> for conciseness throughout the text.

Sorry to hear about this, I had an extension taken down by the Chrome Webstore for a name violation. I did get a "Removal Notification" e-mail for it, maybe yours got lost in the mail. I hope someone from Google gets back to you soon!
