uBlock Origin is no longer available on the Chrome Store
uBlock Origin always worked best in Firefox anyhow:

Starlink in the Falklands, a National Emergency Situation?
With these internet connections, I really hope the local techies are helping set people up uBlock Origin, running something like ClearURLs to short-circuit unnecessary redirects (I assume GEO latency), and running LocalCDN to avoid re-downloading the same libraries and assets over and over. Probably also good to install something that defaults Youtube to 360p, and Pihole for mobile/smart devices.
I would run uBO in Medium Mode[1], but I expect that's probably too much for most non-technical users.

Orbit. Mozilla's AI Assistant for Firefox
*uMatrix is unmaintained, and uBlock Origin can do fine-grained control – it just requires the “advanced user” setting for some reason, even if you expand the panels all the way. https://github.com/gorhill/ublock/wiki/quick-guide:-popup-us... (see “I am an advanced user!” expanding section at the bottom)

Yet another twitch thread
You are probably thinking of VideoAdBlockForTwitch, or its predecessor. (The original author went rogue, the project I linked is a fork with the rogue changes backed out.) It has been deleted from addons.mozilla.org some time ago, with no explanation.
