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)

How much ram does your work pc have?
My daily machine is currently at 16GiB, the same as ten years ago. My memory usage is down from five or six years ago, which I attribute mainly to uMatrix script-blocking browser plugin.

AdGuard publishes the first ad blocker built on Manifest V3
To those familiar with the HTML DOM I recommend uMatrix from the same author as uBlock origin. It makes a good companion to uBlock Origin and provides much finer control.
