The button already exists and it's the install button on ublock origins page.
I think the problem goes deeper. Their page tracks everything you do and then sells that data to third parties. UBO only blocks ads and tracking.
The only way to prevent linkedin from selling data related to you is to not use their site at all.
I thought that without blocking cookies the tracking is still active, even if you're not being served ads from them. In those same LinkedIn privacy settings you're automatically opted into having your data used to train AI models.
uBlock Origin now has an option to block cookies as well.
