How does one uninstall/stop the portable version?

How does one uninstall (well, at least stop) the portable version? The close button only closed the GUI. I reverted to using ctrl+alt+del to force it shut, but it got my browsing stuck.

TrayIcon/RightClick/Exit

In the desktop version only. The desktop version keeps the main service running regardless of the GUI.
The portable version (the single binary) is finished from the RightClick menu entirely.
In order to uninstall the portable version you have to just manually delete the files from the folder where you put/unzipped the files during the "portable" installation.
>I reverted to using ctrl+alt+del to force it shut, but it got my browsing stuck.
Terminating the portable version (or the service of the desktop version) may leave the network filtering rules on your system.
So only gentle exiting/uninstallation removes the related network filters completely.
