    Portable not possible make as long as there are no offline installer packages for this version.
    I do not have them, nor do I have any data about how to get links for them. There is only an online installer available.

    anyone getting "This extension may have been corrupted." errors on uBlock Origin?
    No matter how many times i repair or remove and reinstall it always reverts back to being broken after a while

    YES! good to know I am not the only one. It gets corrupted on certain websites. It is strange because I didn't notice this issue earlier today or yesterday, started happening 1-3 hours ago.
    Both development and regular version of uBlock origin are getting corrupted on certain websites

    I guess one of the filters causes an issue

    yeah it took me a while to figure out what was different about my web browsing until i noticed ads and im like oh whats going on ublock and then i realize that isnt ublock origin thats ublock origin extra and ublock origin is missing because its corrupted. It happened more times than i care to admit, those icons look too similar

    I tried Ublock Origin after someone in this thread suggested it. I had been using Adblock Plus. I found that Ublock was a bit bothersome. I would go to some pages, and it would come up with a page where I had to choose something. Also, the donate buttons on some forums were still present. I switched back to Adblock Plus, and everything is working really well.

    REGARDING EXTENSION CORRUPTIONS / CRASHES / ERRORS:

    Every now and then an Update of Edgeium will corrupt an extension that you use, but it's very simple to fix this and get your extension back to working condition... here's how:

    Go to (...) > EXTENSIONS > find the extension that corrupted and you will see a REPAIR button, just click on it and Edgeium will uninstall and reinstall your extension (also giving you the latest version of extension).

    Depending on what kind of extension (AdGuard which I use for all my blocking purposes), you will have to re-setup your blocker from scratch again (REPAIR is basically a new installation of that extension).

    AdGuard has an export of settings feature which I love and keep a backup put aside, which I use to setup AdGuard within seconds for all my systems as well as family and friends.

    I don't know if other blockers have export features, but if they do, I highly suggest making a backup of your AdBlocking settings just in case your extension corrupts at a later point.

    Regarding AdGuard:

    AdGuard allows you to use multiple filter lists (fanboy, etc.), has a Crypto Mining Blocker, Stealth Mode with Anti-Trackers & 3rd Party Cookie/Referrer/Tracking Blocking, Exporting of Settings and barely uses any CPU or GPU resources across all major browsers (Edge, Edge [OLD], Chrome & Firefox)

    I used AdBlock Plus & AdBlock back in the day but they used alot of resources so I researched and came across AdGuard and haven't looked back once. I use this for all my systems as well as for all my family & friends systems.

    Note:

    As of the latest Canary Update, I have only had 2 extensions corrupt from updates. LastPass Password Manager & AdGuard Blocker. Since repairing them, they haven't had any problems since (a month ago). :)

    You should still use what is needed, not to throw everything out and then say that it is working now! It's strange why you installed it there, if you don't have the filters you really need and what you should add yourself. Of course You don't need such a filters what are never used, you must use most common filters and write/add yours filters, that what You really need.
    And of course not needed duplicated extensions like AdBlock Plus and uBlock Origin or something other similar. But uBlock Origin is much more developed and has many more options and choices.
    PS Adblock Warning Removal List is mostly useless, it simply doesn't work as should, but You can improve it if You want.

    I didn't throw away anything out, he asked me what filters I was using. I use the default lists which are enabled by default+2 more . I don't have duplicate ad block extension (only uBlock Origin development build), I use what I need and I know what I need.
    I guess one of the filter lists was causing trouble , now seems to be fixed.

    from the jesters comment it wasn't just uBlock it was an edge bug screwing up extensions.
