#1 Re: Epic Mac Bugs » Epic Privacy browser crashes too often » 2022-01-01 04:04:01

I am running Version 91.0.4472.114 (Official Build) (x86_64) of Epic Privacy Browser on a 2017 iMac running OS 10.15.7 Catalina.

Previously in Mojave and now also in Catalina, which I installed about a week ago, the browser often randomly freezes. The instances are somewhat frequent. Tonight it has happened twice.

I don't discern the reason for it. It seems very random, not having to do with accessing a particular website, etc. When it occurs, other apps on the computer continue to work, while Epic is entirely unresponsive. 

When it happens, sometimes I can do a hard Force Quit, which has worked today. When not, I typically shut down every other app, but find I can't access the Apple (symbol) menu in the upper left corner to restart the computer — it also is frozen. The Mac also can't be shut down by the On/Off button (the button is nonresponsive). Most often, I have had to unplug the Mac to shut it down/restart it.

After the restart the Mac, then the app, Epic Privacy Browser opens and allows me to restore the tabs, thankfully. But this is problematic because it is a disruptive interruption.
