It seems like installing uBlock results in the installation of Yontoo, which, according to The Safe Mac (TSM), is an adware (http://www.thesafemac.com/arg-yontoo/). To reproduce this, run the adware removal tool from TSM with and without uBlock.

It's a false positive. There are these entries in various filter lists:

||yontoo.com^$subdocument,third-party (EasyList)
layers.yontoo.com (hpHosts)

Looks like TSM just performs a plain string search and find the entries above in the filter lists shipped with the extension.

Ah okay, thanks a lot!
