uBlock Origin does not collect any data of any kind.
- uBlock Origin has no home server.
- uBlock Origin doesn't embed any kind of analytic hooks in its code.
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uBlock Origin will not connect to any remote server, unless you click "Update now" and only if there are assets deemed "out of date".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.
That is all.
