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)
