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)

I'm assuming they're talking about https://duckduckgo.com/app, which DDG does call the DDG Browser themselves, since that was involved in a 'scandal' re. trackers

how safe is duckduckgo?
I’d also recommend considering choosing a good internet browser, as you stated “ i just dont feel comfortable if companies and people can see everything ive ever searched up”. A browser that either blocks ads and trackers or at least doesn’t contain its own trackers, is a great start. I would recommend using either Firefox, Brave, or DuckDuckGo. You also should use some sort of additional tracker blocker, such as uBlock Origin.

DuckDuckGo doesn't track you. That’s our Privacy Policy in a nutshell, now expanded to include Email Protection, App Tracking Protection, and more!
Since DuckDuckGo has grown from a privacy-focused search engine to the all-in-one privacy solution that we offer today, we needed to expand our Privacy Policy to cover our new browsers and features like Email Protection, App Tracking Protection, and more. Check it out here. Privacy and transparency are foundational to our business and community so even though this expanded Privacy Policy doesn’t reduce any privacy protection, we wanted to make sure our Reddit community knows about it.

Facebook and Google are handing over user data to help police prosecute abortion seekers
Have a look at duckduckgo.com, it has a browser for iPhone and Android that is supposed to block all these trackers by design. I've not heard anything bad about it from anyone else yet and information can be found here: https://duckduckgo.com/app
