Various Edge Versions On MacOS Big Sur Beta 4 Crashes Very Frequently

Hi guys,

 

I have logged this feedback via the browser (whilst I had the time) but I wanted to see if others are having similar problems. I am confident it is linked to Big Sur as Catalina had no issues at all.

 

The issue:

 

- I run Edge and start using it, sometimes it will last maybe an hour, sometimes only a few minutes and it will terminate.

- I do not browse the same combination of sites every time.

- I have been forced to use Chrome Canary as an alternative, but this doesn't crash at all. (version 86.0.423.0)

- This is a problem with Edge, Edge Beta and Edge Dev too as I have installed all of those and it does the same thing.

- Interestingly, just before the last force close, I ran Edge Canary via the Terminal script inside the app icon (show package contents > contents > MacOS) it had shown me this in the Terminal window:

 

[0812/102241.519215:WARNING:process_memory_mac.cc(93)] mach_vm_read(0x7ffee6b73000, 0x2000): (os/kern) invalid address (1)
[0812/102242.473112:WARNING:crash_report_exception_handler.cc(258)] UniversalExceptionRaise: (os/kern) failure (5)
zsh: segmentation fault

 

My stats:

 

- At the time of writing I was running Edge Canary Version 86.0.605.0 and I am on the Insider Fast ring.

- Macbook Air 13 Inch Early 2014

- Big Sur Beta Version 20A5343i (the crashes have happening since Developer Beta 1)

 

I am not looking for an immediate fix, but perhaps some contact with devs and fellow Edge lovers to sort this issue out, I HATE having to use Chrome 😞

    sayjay09  I have the same problem but since Beta 8. It's very sad, I don't want to change my browser 😞

     

    I'm on a MacBook Pro 13 [i5] from late 2017

      mrcgrhrdt What version of Edge are you using?

       

      For me, I am Beta 10 and the current Beta, Dev and Canary builds work fine.

    sayjay09 I also have similar issue. Edge will crash after waking up from sleep in Big Sur beta (1, 2, 3, 4)

      simzen85 Hopefully it will be fixed soon, the Edge support team has told me that the engineers are aiming to fix this before the general release of Big Sur.
