Prerequisites

• I verified that this is not a filter list issue. Report any issues with filter lists or broken website functionality in the uAssets issue tracker.
• This is NOT a YouTube, Facebook or Twitch report. These sites MUST be reported by clicking their respective links.
• This is not a support issue or a question. For support, questions, or help, visit /r/uBlockOrigin.
• I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue.
• The issue is not present after disabling uBO in the browser.
• I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I am reporting is not normal behavior.

I tried to reproduce the issue when...

• uBO is the only extension.

Description

With the new Edge update to version 130, the settings page no longer works. It only opens a blank page. Same with the dev version of Ublock. It works normally in Chrome. Reinstalling does not work.

it works as long as you do not reset or reinstall Ublock. If you do not make any changes, the setting page works

this page opens but is completely empty

Browser name and version

Edge

Operating System and version

Also newly installed uBlock Origin on MSEdge 130.0.2849.46 doesn't work at all, showing yellow icon with exclamation mark on every page.
Upd: If I import the extension from Chrome to Edge - it works without problem.

@mryx007 Still works for me, even after reinstallation. Corrupted profile or some tiered testing?

exactly the yellow icon appears and nothing works. Maybe it's the combination of Edge 130 and Windows 11 24H2

Also note to others: the import only works if ublock was installed from the chrome webstore. Won't work for "sideloaded" extensions

[mryx007]

I was able to solve the problem. I had to delete the Edge profile completely and set everything up again. Now Ublock works again

Same problem here.
Seems like Edge update broke the addon maybe. Last time v129 broke the profile and I had to reset/make new settings profile.
This time v130 I cannot load dashboard page at all, blank page, all white, nothing to click.
Edge profile is my mail profile, and extension is synced.

If creating a new profile worked last time, why don't you try again? And if the issue return with the next update, maybe it's worth reporting to Edge?

Creating new Edge profile = I'll have to use regular local profile, and that won't fix the issue with mail profile with ext synced.

Plus, I just did a clean install Windows on my PC fews hours ago IMG
Started Edge directly at v130, browser freshly downloaded and installed the addon (by itself, because settings synced). And thus starting Edge like this counts as "new profile" as well, still broken.

I'm not sure what you mean by mail profile. Anyway, did you try simply reinstalling uBO or even just turning it off and on again in the extensions tab?

Yes, just like other people above. Havent tried installing from Chrome Store, and probably will not do that.

Same Problem here. Yesterday I set up Win 11 new, installed edge new. --> Still the yellow UBO icon with exclamation mark and nothing works.

Is the incompatibility issue with Chromium based v.130 now related to Google's attempts to hinder ad blocking extensions related to MV3 that will eventually affect all Chromium based browsers? I am aware of the newer extension Lite that still works, but I like the ability to see the list of blocked links. Thanks for your hard work!

[wUEZRs]

I had* the same issue. Uninstalled uBO to test the Lite version. Unfortunately Lite does not work properly with YouTube so I swapped back. Swapping back I found the uBO being yellow and reinstalling it not working - and the settings pane empty.

To fix it I deleted the Profile in edge, uninstalled the extension, reset the browser and removed history, then signed in again with my profile and manually installed uBlock Origin again. All good.

If you delete your profile in Edge, you lose all your saved passwords and settings right? (I want to avoid this)

[Nekroz88]

If you fix like them, you will have to:

• Sign out of your account + delete every browser data + reset every settings => Create new local profile (not sign in) => Go to Edge store to add uBO immediately => then configure its settings => and now you can sign back in to get your other synced data such as passwords, etc....

But this would be too much of a hassle just to make an extension work....., I would rather use Adguard than spending such time just trying to make uBO work.
I'm not even a dev, who knows maybe next Edge update it will break the addon again. I will just disable this for the time being and wait for it to get fixed.

We can't reproduce such issue here. If we can't reproduce, we can't investigate, and if we can't investigate, we can't fix.

What is needed is someone with dev skills looking at the browser tools for uBO itself and see what is failing in the initialization code path.

Hello, I think this will help reproduce the issue. Because I just tried it on different PC and it did for me.

• Make a new or use your existing Microsoft account, to login to Edge.
• Add uBO to Edge from MS Edge store (no need to turn it on or off).
• Go to Sync settings, use Re-sync or Reset Sync option, for the browser to sync your extension data/settings to cloud.
• Delete that profile entirely, or just use another instance of Edge (like Beta or Dev).
• Login to Edge using that MS account, let browser install addons by itself using synced settings.
• Now the issue will happen.

Creating a new microsoft account requires me to solve 20 captchas?!!

[iam-py-test]

I followed the steps to reproduce and can not. Edge syncs and installs uBo, but the dashboard opens fine and the "not ready" icon disappears as normal. uBo works as normal.
Thanks

[gorhill]

I tried the steps with both Edge Linux and Edge Windows 10 (both in a VM), and could not reproduce an issue. uBO was force-installed in both Edges after signing in and was properly functioning in both cases.

We really need someone who can reproduce the issue to investigate using browser tools.

Might need to be on the beta channel?

And I am on windows 11 build 27729.1000 if that matters

Edit: it is the "beta channel" of the stable build, not an edge beta/insider build

[MmyGgithubAaccount]

I get this issue on new installs every time and can try to help debug this if someone can tell me what data to gather and how

What I've noticed is that the page keeps "refreshing"

Screen.Recording.2024-10-20.220118.mp4

Recording.2024-10-20.220503.mp4

These are the issues reported for the dashboard, but I'm not sure if it's relevant

And there's nothing in the console

[gorhill]

I have the same errors reported but I can access the dashboard, all work as expected.

What needs to be looked at are the dev tools for the background process, accessible through the extensions page, with "Developer mode" switch toggled on, click on "background.html" link of uBO.

@MDnnrd Reply directly on GitHub.

[gorhill]

This is a caught exception (inside a try-catch block), it's inconsequential.

[MmyGgithubAaccount]

Same stuff for background.html
Nothing in console again

And this is when using inspect on the ublock popup

[gorhill]

I think people suffering the issue should report to Edge developers. When uBO works in Chromium and Google Chrome, it is expected it will work as well in other Chromium-based browsers, unless they made breaking changes to extensions framework.

[MDnnrd]

I have reported to Microsoft. I apologize for replying by email earlier and will try not to make that mistake again.

[Alpengreis]

Same problem here. Worked before Edge update - I had unfortunately decided to deinstall Ublock. Few days later Edge received an update - and today I decided to install Ublock again ... nothing works now, just a yellow Ublock icon - that's all ...

[ZenFluxFurr]

Same problem since i got ublock, gonna see it work someday mabe.
Says it can't filter at browser launch. Can't access dashboard or any other settings - they just load blank page.

OK i found how to open ublock dashboard lol.
In edge settings create and switch to fresh profile > install ublock to new profile > open ublock dashboard> change back to your old edge profile > open ublock dashboard.

[garry-ut99]

Another fresh report, someone has said that other adblockers are broken as well:

https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftEdge/comments/1g84kdm/no_ad_blocker_extension_is_working_anymore_with/ :
NB. I don't seem to be able even to open the settings page of extensions like Adblock or ublock origin.

In the current thread, it would be useful if you check other adblockers than uBlock as well, if they are broken, then most likely the issue is on Edge's part or users's part.
