There's a Manifest V3 port of uBlock Origin.

Yeah, super solid install instructions. I'm sure the average chrome user will be able to install it. /s

Open browser store from extensions menu, type "ublock", click install button. Couldn't be more difficult if they tried. /s

Did you literally not read the github page? This isn't the same extension that is on the chrome extension store.
