- uBlock Origin has no home server.
- uBlock Origin doesn't embed any kind of analytic hooks in its code.

uBlock Origin will download the resource at `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/master/checksums/ublock0.txt?_=[unix time stamp in ms]`

- when you visit the _3rd-party filters_ pane in the dashboard;
- once in a while if you have _Auto-update filter lists_ checked;

... to find out whether some assets used by uBlock Origin need to be updated.

The purpose of the `unix time stamp in ms` portion of the URL is to be sure the browser cache is bypassed.
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Origin will not connect to any remote server, unless you click _"Update now"_ and only if there are assets deemed "out of date".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`.
