Why don't you accept donations?

Regardless of how you access it you just take what you've been paid and add it to 'other income' when filing your taxes.

If you're getting "big" donations, stripe or paypal will send you a k1 if you make > 20k. Otherwise there are not really any other administrative things to worry about.

And what if you’re not in the US? The author of uBlock is in Quebec (or so says their GitHub profile), and various jurisdictions might have different rules on donations.

For anybody who needs a FAQ about where the donation button is the absolute worst case difficulty for any jurisdiction is calling an accountant to have them do it for you.

Accountant = administrative workload. At least for me, so I imagine that may be the case as well for the author of ublock.
