Simple solution. Don't use Chrome.

Ive been testing out ungoogled chrome with uBlock, and it still seems to be working. But I think I'm going to add Waterfox along side of my Firefox to look at that one also.

But I'm also not sure you can install uBlock anymore from the Chrome repository either.

Not sure about the repo route, never went that deep with Chrome. Firefox has always been my mainstay (and Netscape before it.)
