I've just installed QGIS 3.2.2 and after installation, tried to use the Plug in Manager to install the OpenLayers plugin. But it's not in the list to install.
Any ideas?

2Straight from a core QGIS developer - "Don't use the OpenLayers plugin - it's very buggy. Use the QuickMapServices plugin instead." source – user2856 Sep 06 '18 at 05:42

You can also use the method described here: https://www.giscourse.com/how-to-add-openstreetmap-basemaps-in-qgis-3-0/ – Gerardo Jimenez Sep 07 '18 at 01:27

1Also in the browser pane, under XYZ tiles you can use Open Street Maps data. – Gerardo Jimenez Sep 07 '18 at 12:32

Well Done, It was really easy to add connections and use google maps without the use of openlayer plugin. very helpful. – Gad Samuel Oct 01 '20 at 10:40

The OpenLayers Plugin is deprecated.
It is recommended to use QuickMapServices or QGIS core functionality instead of OpenLayers Plugin because the latter has many issues. One very famous issue is the projection.
If you still want to use the OpenLayers Plugin
You need to check Show also experimental plugin from the Plugin manager -> Settings because OpenLayers Plugin is listed under experimental plugins.

I am using QGIS 3.10. On the menu bar click on View---> Panels ---> Browser.
Select the Browser tab then select the layer you want from the XYZ Tiles:
If you wish to add tiles from other providers, just right click on the XYZ Tile folder and choose "New Connection".
Below are some connections I have taken from this page: (https://geogeek.xyz/how-to-add-google-maps-layers-in-qgis-3.html)
