Go to extensions, shut off the adblocker, click on remove, then quit Epic. When you reopen Epic it will be zero. If you wish to enable click on the Umbrella button/install button. I also found it annoying, using MacOS.

Note: sometimes Epic must be quit twice for the "install" to show on the umbrella button.

Good luck!

Thank you for your clarification.

That was helpful and does work. Although it is a cumbersome kludge when you've customized uBlock to any extent. Because you must also remember to backup your uBlock settings prior to removing the Epic Adblock extension, so that they can subsequently be restored after restarting the browser.

Here's hoping the developers are eventually able to patch out this flaw.

I have the exact same problem. But disabling Epic Adblock in Extensions only temporarily sets the 'trackers blocked' counter to zero. After Epic Adblock is re-enabled, the 'trackers blocked' counter returns to the previously displayed value, which is now well into the thousands. Using the 'Reset Epic' option in the settings menu has no effect, either.

So, can anyone else suggest a more reliable method of manually resetting that counter or better yet, completely disabling it? Because I find it to be increasingly annoying.
