The HTTPS Everywhere extension doesn't seem to be working correctly in the latest Chrome and Chromium. The problem is, once it is installed or after the Chrome update, the extension is being disabled and labelled as 'corrupted, with the Repair not working and reinstalling also..
This is a workaround i found on the Chrome extension page which surfaced a few days ago...
Corruption bug appears to have a workaround. Posted by Anand Bhat:
For all those having issues with the latest version showing as corrupt, try these steps:
1. Install extension.
2. Once it shows "This extension may have been corrupted", go back to the Chrome store and open up this extension's page (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/https-everywhere/gcbommkclmclpchllfjekcdonpmejbdp).
3. The top of the page will have this text -- "This item has been disabled in Chrome. Enable this item". Click it.
4. Extension will get activated!
The developers of this extension are aware of this and it is due to bug in Chrome. More details can be found at https://github.com/EFForg/https-everywhere/issues/5874#issuecomment-245493840There should be a fix by the developers or on Chrome's site in the near future.
Enjoi this marvellous extension!
