I get "invalid package, variable $times% used but not defined".

I just downloaded it and it's still available. Try troubleshooting your browser issue. In any case, I think it's superfluous now on Chromium and of course Manifest V3 is coming ... so ...

Might be a caching issue on both systems I have installed this extension on multiple PC's and laptops with no issue with chrome even edge browsers.
You may need to flush both your DNS cache and clear your chrome browser cache.

Apologize for dropping in late, but....
Browsers facilitating delete on exit (Edge and Firefox) and AdGuard's URL parameter stripping blocklist (uBlock and AdGuard) sort of make this extension redundant?

I still use it, since I'm an oddball, believer of 'one extension for one (specific) job and doing it well'. I still find the blocklist a bit too young at this stage. It's a good step in the direction its heading, but I have still seen quite a few URLs that have not fully been stripped of the tracker parameters yet in comparison to the ClearURLs extension. I might switch when it has matured a bit more, after all it's still quite recent of a feature within uBlock Origin/AdGuard at this current stage.
Or at least that's my personal experience.
