Describe the issue

When choose a data base, the plugin freeze, but does not update.
You can still click on a other setting, but it will not update the data bases.

Beside of that, why you cannot choose your own language, it's using my own language. But Prefer English.

This appears to be an intermittent issue not with the build but with the installation. If you remove the extension and re-install it, there's about a 50/50 chance that it will resolve itself.

It's actually still working, and if you continue to refresh this page you will see it update. The only thing that's broken is the message from the background process to the UI telling it to update the progress bar. I'm looking into it.

Been investigating this today actually. It does indeed update perfectly.

It appears that the issue arises from an error of vAPI.message.broadcast in vAPi-background.js. Edge throws a 'handle is invalid error' after the postMessage method is called.

The thing I find odd is that it seems to be related to the install. 25-33% of the time you get an install where this progress bar works 100% of the time. With other installs it doesn't work ever. But it never changes between installs.

@nikrolls Interesting. For me the behaviour was: first time it works flawlessly, afterwards it hangs. But we can say it is definitely a communication issue, so perhaps we can force it through a workaround.

Regarding language selection, @mysterieworld, this should be implemented in the original repo. However it doesn't seem it'll be here anytime soon; see uBlock#241. Changing your browser language will solve though.
