A few days ago, uBlock Origin was automatically removed from Chrome and can't be added again via the Chrome Web Store.

As a workaround, I'm using uBlock Origin Lite (UBOL) as of now, and it seems to work okay. Have you guys migrated to different extensions or browsers because of this? I feel comfortable with Chrome and don't feel like using another browser, but if UBOL gets taken down as well, I see no other options.
 
I will 100% change browsers if I can't use uBlock Origin on Chrome anymore. Ads have made the internet borderline unusable for me (this is why I don't browse internet on my phone all that much anymore) and uBlock is the only adblocker that makes it bearable.

I will wait for an alternative or a workaround, but yeah otherwise I'll def move to Firefox.

Did you have it installed as an extension already and removed automatically? Mine still seems to be working. I won't dare remove it, not even by accident. Although, it does give me a warning that it may no longer be supported.

I had it installed for years, and then a few days ago, I got a notification like this which turned it off. I guess they're doing this in a phased manner and will probably remove it for all users in some time.
